Yeah, me too. But the appropriate response is to mutter to yourself about unrealistic expectations and move on. At best, you can say "I know your ad says 650 firm, but you might not be aware that this sells for 680 from a retailer, and includes this extra thing. Given that, I'd offer you 550 for it, which seems fair".

If the person ignores your clearly reasonable offer and rationale and says they're not budging, you don't tell them to "eat a dick". You passive-aggressively respond, "Ok then... Good luck with the sale."
