A word used by ignorant craigslist sellers who did not go to college to learn the basic economic concept of depreciation. A seller who uses this term generally knows that their price is wrong but they use this word to demean buyers as well as demonstrate a high level of selfishness and greed.

Some lowballer just called me for this phone I put up on sale in craigslist and asked me if I could offer him a lower price for it than what I've already listed. To be curtious and not waste my time, I told him I would call him back but never did.
