I am guilty of above but usually on modern stuff

One of mine as a seller is when I have a PSA card priced low, say $17.95, and a person offers 14, {which is a reasonable offer} I check VCP and it's 22, or at least above my asking price; I check recent ebay sales and they are higher too, I check other live listings and are 30% higher or more above my asking price. I counter back at 16 or 17, and they decline or worse yet no response and it expires.

I just don't understand; if a person makes an offer I would think that means they are interested in my item. But I am one paying fee's including listing, final value, paypal, & grading. So why do I always have give up the few bucks. It's not a big deal, but definitely a pet peeve. I am a collector too, so I really don't understand why the couple of bucks matter, especially if I have been searching for a particular card in a particular grade for any amount of time.

I am appreciative of any offer and that's why I always respond, it's just some times the answer is no.
