Posted By: <b>Shanon</b><p>Just listed some cards on ebay tonight, one was a PSA 2 1958 Mantle. About an hour later I get a message from a guy offering me $40 for it. After laughing out loud I replied very politly "NO". Anybody else had some funny/ridiculous experiences on ebay?

Posted By: <b>Cobby33</b><p>I always get those. I try to keep my answers as polite as possible, as I always fear that the person on the other end is truly clueless, or has a learning disorder or something.<br /><br />Peace.

Posted By: <b>cmoking</b><p>There is a function on ebay that allows the system to automatically reject any bids below a certain amount. Just use that and you won't get upset or frustrated because you won't even know you received some crappy offers.

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>An ebayer offered to trade me the Brooklyn Bridge for a T206 Walter Johnson. I<br />nixed the tempting offer as I live in a condo and didn't have the room. Besides,<br />he would have required me to pick it up.

Posted By: <b>Jim Clarke</b><p>End the auction early! Then you will have many e-mails from the pissed off people. They will offer you more money than the card is worth to show you how dumb you are for ending it early.

Posted By: <b>Rick McQuillan</b><p>I had the same thing happen a couple of weeks ago. I listed of lot of 5 Mantles, including a 57, an Aaron/Mantle, and 3 others. Nothing special, but they were Mantles. Within a few minutes after listing this lot some guy sends me a message with an offer for $80 shipped. <br /><br />During my 1500-2000 sales on ebay I have only closed one auction early. The buyer offered me quite a bit more than I was expecting from this item, but I still have mixed feelings about closing this auction early.<br /><br />Rick
