I could understand if he said, "I want $600 for the front calipers" (which he does/did) and then I made a $150 offer, but if he's asking for offers he has to expect less than he's not willing to ask for.
But you gotta admit, $150 is a retarded lowball offer.

That's like "hey man, nice Ferrari... I'll give you $5,000 for it... cash."

Even $300 is a really lowball offer for STi brembos. Which just goes to show, you're better off setting asking prices for everything and then sell for below if someone offers close to asking. Letting people set their own price has *never* worked in the favor of the seller. No one's gonna be like "STi Brembos!?! I'll give you $2000 for 'em!" when they're only worth $500.
