I like using the OBO option on items where the value is less precise or where the market is not quite as active. In some circumstances, sellers are not entirely sure if the price they want on an item is realistic, so they can set the price but invite offers to attempt to gauge the market. T206, though, is such a well-defined and active market that there is very little variance or room for negotiating on lower-end stuff. As you say, it's a PSA 2 EPDG which implies you expect the buyer to know what that's worth. If everyone has the same knowledge of values, or is expected to, why bother with negotiating? $35 for a EPDG / 2 would have been a great deal for the second guy who offered, but his throwing that out as an initial bid is hardly an insult.
