Garth - at a card shop, you the buyer make a first offer. At COMC, the seller tells you the buyer how much of a discount they'll accept for an offer.

In other words - they tell you the buyer how much to offer.

It's completely dishonest to have a seller say, "Offer me $2" ... and then when you send him an offer that says "here's your $2 offer" .... he replies "Sorry I now want $4."

If you the seller wanted $4 ... you the seller had the option to say that when you specified how much of a discount you would accept. But you chose to say you would accept a $2 offer.

Bottom line - any seller who counters the offer they told you to make is dishonest. It's called bait and switch. I'm not a lawyer, but I seem to recall that's illegal (not just dishonest) in many cases.

Cheers,
Patrick
