I'll side with the would-be-buyer on this one. She was stupid, but not rude. You responded to the stupidity by being rude.
Offering half the asking isn't rude in general IMHO, but offering $5 less than asking is silly. Personally I don't sell low dollar value items on CL-- just not worth the time.
Have you ever posted in the FREE section? I do it frequently. Much better than a trip to the dump, both for the waste of resources and waste of time. Put the item on the curb, list the address but no phone number or email. Item will disappear. Very little of your time expended.
