Default O/T Pet Peeve on Best Offers (Ebay)

Posted By: jeffdrum

"Best Offer" is a misnomer, seller is under no obligation to accept any offer. Should be called "Make an Offer." I hit on about 40% of my offers. My impression like many others is that most people are trolling for someone who doesn't know what something is worth or doesn't care. And after all, if somebody is willing to "overpay" for something, on that day, at that time it was worth that. As I heard a retired ballplayer say of a current player, "He makes what someone is willing to pay him!"

No excuse for not making a polite refusal for any remotely genuine offer.
