Question about Ebay "Buy It Now or Best Offer" etiquette
Hey everyone,
I am wondering about how sellers typically use the "Buy it Now or Best Offer" option. I was just looking at T206 Walter Johnson cards and there is one company that has 8 different Portraits on ebay right now. All are PSA 1 or 2. It seems to me from looking at completed listings and other current listings over the past few weeks that the price they list as the Buy it Now price is at least double the fair market price (I don't have a subscription to VCP yet, so I could be a little bit off). So, my question is, if a company has listed a card at $380 or best offer, and I think the card is worth around $190, is it considered bad form to make an offer of like $175 or $190? I don't want to make offers that are going to be dismissed as low-ball. I didn't include the name of the company because I didn't know if that was frowned upon or not. They are a Power Seller with 100% percent positive feedback. If my question doesn't make sense, I'll be back on later and can clarify. Thanks!
Luke
