Seller Got Annoyed And Hung Up On Me

Hi everyone, I have been cold calling people recently and I found a really motivated seller. I asked him what he wanted to sell for and he said he hasn’t been following the market so he doesn’t know what to ask. So after some time, I eventually gave my offer (which was a lowball offer) and he didn’t seem too annoyed he just said he definitely can’t do that. So the next day I called to just check up on him and see if he came up with a number so he said 50k so I rebutted saying 40k he got really annoyed as I said I’m not sure about 50k and he hung up on me. This is my fault that it escalated to this because even 50k is really low and I don’t know why I didn’t say that would work for me. (Please keep in mind that this property is worth somewhere around 200k so I don’t know if this seller actually wanted 50k or he was just saying as 50k still being really low for him). Anyways, I have no idea what to do now, I don’t want to immediately call him back since he might still be annoyed at me, so how long should I wait to call him again. Also, what should I say to him this way when I call him he just won’t hang up on me? You help would be greatly appreciated as I’m in quite the sticky situation, thanks in advance for all of the help!
