Market Feedback Another Market lowballer's thread

I seriously doubt any more rules will abolish lowballing- maybe decreasing to a certain extent but we would be creating a nuisance for people who are dealing properly. The seller will just have to simply ignore such generic idiots. Creating more rules might create inconvenience to people who aren't lowballing and lowballers will find loophole and exploit- that's how their mentality works.
Maybe we could make a blacklist for lowballers *if* people will refer to it and someone makes an effort to make sure that if one is really lowballing and update the first post. But there are few people who give legit feedback for buyers and sellers and the ones who give negative feedback end up as a discussion in the feedback section - again an inconvenience of getting a person to update the list

with a few suggestions that i have seen, maybe this would work:
1) Seller quotes his price, puts up a sale thread
2) Buyer has to hit the interested button to post.
3) Seller has to approve of the interested buyer for him to post.
4) Meanwhile, the buyer can negotiate regarding the sale thread using pm's
*-Mods can keep a tab on the sale threads, giving infractions to the misbehaving candidate or advising the seller to quote a better price.
this way the seller has a better chance of selling the product and everyone is happy?
I dont know how far this would work, I guess Shripad might have a better idea.
Edit: As the Sorcerer stated earlier, maybe we can have a blacklisting, where in people vote and as a rule have to give an explanation as to why they voted that specific person into the black list. And the mods can go through this over a period of time and decide if the claims are legitimate and then blacklist that person.
Cheers!
@SoMxNemesis: The problem with your approach is that mods have to go every thread created to see that the prices are fair and what not. Also price is a subjective thing and should be controlled by anyone other than the seller. If a seller wants to overprice, let him, As I said in my previous posts, there may be a perfectly valid reason for a higher price and people who understand the value and justification will go ahead with such a sale. Thats why, I say let sellers have their own prices, but allow other members to post valid and relevant information right in that thread for any one to see.

Absolutely agree to LM's opinion here
What SoMxNemesis suggests will give undue advantage to sellers and make mods life miserable loading them with lots of work
If a seller finds any quote totally irrelavant - hit the report button, simple as that
I have seen many sellers revise their price to correct levels after informative price updates from members ( i aint talking meaningless lowballing here)
Lets not increase load on moderators. Simply forcing the lowballers to quote the source of info will be enough. Else they get their posts booted. Repeated offences call for infractions.
If the price is right, the seller is forced to lower it. It will also end the never ending squabble in the market.
