I believe it is inappropriate to vilify a low offer as being either dodgy or sleazy. I could name at least one IIS member in good standing who is notable for making lowball offers and when he has made them for gear I was selling, I have simply politely declined and restated my price. I have also done business with this gentleman on an occasion when his offer matched my expectation and found him perfectly fine to deal with.
When you offer something for sale anywhere, I'd suggest you treat all offers as a valuable indication of interest and a possible opportunity to negotiate a price that's satisfactory to both parties. It's an approach that's worked well for me over the years and I've found that hard-core bargain-hunters drop out at the first hurdle, so not too much time is wasted.
As for the comment that, "The English wasn't well worded,so very sus indeed" - I was disappointed to see this on IIS. Not everybody in Australia or on this website has English as their first or even second language, so it's unfair for their difficulty with our language to be cause for suspicion. I'm pretty sure that my problems with expressing myself properly in their language would be far worse!
