Agreed and part of why I don't sell much anymore.
My personal guideline is that no matter what the card is, if cannot offer at least 80% of asking...I move on.
I will however toss it in my watch list and keep an eye on the listing to see if the seller revises anything. I have had one particular card in my watch list for over a year and a half, lol. If he ever comes down to earth on it i'll grab it...but I can wait.
