A seller that is "offended" by a "lowball" offer in this economy is just not in tune with reality. Also, I always find it strange that someone would get angry when they get what they might consider a low offer, they can always counter or just say no thanks.
If I want to offer something the seller might consider low, I simply state 10K is the limit of my budget, if you'd consider this amount please let me know, if not best of luck with the sale. Unfortunately you often in return get some rant on NADA values or how "people like you" are wasting their time and blah, blah, blah...
Being willing and able to negotiate and/or politely explaining in a clear way why your car is worth more can sometimes end in a sale. Smart buyers will offer low and work on getting a good counter offer, smart sellers will make clear when a price is firm and be polite even when they receive "low" offers.
