lowballers
Insultingly cheap offerers
Lowballers are people who make offers far below what something is worth, hoping the seller will accept out of desperation or ignorance.
The term is common in sales, real estate, and online marketplaces: The listing attracted nothing but lowballers offering half the asking price.
The practice is seen as opportunistic rather than legitimate negotiation.
