Just got off the phone with another Realtor who showed one of my homes. Her clients gave me an offer that was 25% of the list price.

Please folks Don't be that guy. Show some respect for others & their time.  This poor lady had to waste an afternoon driving this schmuck around.

Verbally counter back at $1000 higher than his offer.  Let him get all excited and have his agent write up a formal counter at the new price.  Then tell him you changed your mind, but you'll do it for $3000 more than that.  Let him have his agent write up a new counter.  Then tell him you changed your mind again.  See how many offers you can get him to write before he gets pissed and walks away...

My record is 3...

    UPDATE:

    I sold the house. more than 3x the offer I spoke about when I started the thread. I ended up having 5 or 6 offers on it. I guess I priced it pretty well : )
