lowballer
Offers insultingly little
A lowballer is someone who makes an offer well below what something is worth or what the seller expects, hoping to get a bargain or start negotiations at an advantage.
The term appears most often in buying and selling contexts—real estate, used cars, online marketplaces: Don't waste your time on lowballers.
A lowballer may be genuinely cheap or strategically testing the seller's flexibility.
