'not worth the trouble' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'pro gets the offers about right but it's' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'pro' could be 'for' (I've seen this before) and 'for' is located in the answer.
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found within the answer.
'offers' could be 'bids' (bid is a kind of offer) and 'bids' is located in the remaining letters.
'it' could be 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT') and 'e' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'h' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
