Anyone that is going to say they wouldn't is full of shit. No one here would say, "oh you know that's way too much! How about you just give me 10k for it."
So, when I contact someone WTB an item, I am going to first ask to see what they will pay. Now, if they say they aren't sure what it is worth, I will do what I did with this guy. I might tell them what it's worth, and I definitely will tell them what I will take for it.
You can rest assured I will not sell it for less than I paid for it and I will make a profit on it. But, I won't lie and say it's worth more than it is, or try to sell the item for double it's worth.
I am happy just making a profit off an item even if it's only 100pp. I know all the profits add up so I don't hoard pixels till I can get the max amount for them later on down the road like some people do.

This is why people annoy you.
When someone starts an interaction like this with me, I assume they're trying to screw me over, by hoping I'll offer 15k. So, I either just move on and go where ever I was headed next or I spend a million minutes researching the right price. Which results in me not replying to their tell in a timely fashion, or perhaps at all.
On the flipside if they just immediately told me a price I'd have immediately replied yes or no. This is why stores IRL can sell things at such a rapid pace.
If you're ever doing any tunnel questing, the onus is on you to try and sell things to the people passing through, not the other way around. It's like you paid 25$ for a parking space at a flea market (IRL). You're responsible for sealing deals with the people who walk by your folding table. If you're just saying crazy vague stuff to them they'll keep walking.
Now if you were just passing through, and noticed someone saying WTB, then the vagueness would make sense, he was acting like more like a cash for gold store (IRL), and you didn't really know what to say when you walked in. You've since admitted though this wasn't the case. Even if you made it sound that way originally in the OP.
