I don't believe it's harsh. It is a part of the etiquette of negotiating price that has been forgotten in the last 30 years or so. If you lowball me I know you're not serious, think I'm desperate, think I'm an idiot, or you honestly have no idea what it is or is worth.

In all of those situations there is no point in me trying to do business with you as 3 of those instances are you insulting me and the other implies you're in over your head. So yeah....scum. Bye Bye and stop wasting my time.
