It’s easy to say no to buying something if you can’t afford it or if you’re not interested in the product or service being offered to you; however, that doesn’t mean you have to be rude.

What I don’t get is why some people not only give a lowball offer but even insult that seller.

This man narrates how he offered his grandparents’ property to a neighbor. The neighbor’s offer was much lower than asking price, but to make it even worse, she was very rude.

Read the full story to find out how he got revenge.

Person who insisted on buying house says not worth the asking price.

In the late ’90s, my grandparents had left a house behind on Walnut Ave. in West Seattle.

As much as I wanted to live there, it was to be sold and divided among surviving relatives.

The estate planner said the house (would have been currently worth well over a million) will go for 350k, but might take some time.

He approached a homeowner across the street.

I knew the lady across the street wanted to buy the property and rent it out.

She wanted to keep builders from erecting a three-story unit that would block her view of Seattle.

I knocked on her door, and told her we were selling and asked if she was interested.

She tried to lowball me at 250k, and I said no, thanks.

Even if it took a while, we would get the full value.

He asked other neighbors if they were interested.

She told me to my face that I was stupid if I thought I was going to get that much.

This annoyed me as I knew the property alone with unobstructed Seattle view was worth a pretty penny.

So, I started knocking on neighbor’s doors, letting them know the property was about to be listed. Figuring someone would want another property on the same block.

He sold the house to another buyer, and the rude neighbor was angry.

I sold the house to the 5th person that answered their door.

Deal was done in a matter of days, and I received a commission for the sale.

The neighbor from across the street who lowballed me called me up furious that I didn’t give her a chance to match the price.

I said, “You told me I was stupid for asking that price, and that made me want to sell it to prove you wrong.”

Then, I hung up.

She had her chance and let it slip away.

Let’s read the reactions of other people on Reddit.

This reaction is spot on!

Short but true…
