According to KBB a 1999 Accord LX, 4 cylinder, automatic with 150K miles and no options is worth $1608 in a private party sale. That is in "Fair" (lowest condition) So priced at $700 she is $900 less than a running but cosmetically challenged car is worth.
The non-running status is already factored into the price. You offered less than scrap value for the car.
When I place a classified ad I price it maybe 10 - 20% above what I'm willing to sell the item for. I suspect most people price their items in a similar fashion. When someone offers 30% of asking price they are low-balling and wasting both people's time.
