Just listed some cards on ebay tonight, one was a PSA 2 1958 Mantle. About an hour later I get a message from a guy offering me $40 for it. After laughing out loud I replied very politly "NO". Anybody else had some funny/ridiculous experiences on ebay?

I had a guy offer me less than I paid SGC to holder the card. The card was very rare and very very high grade.

I always get those. I try to keep my answers as polite as possible, as I always fear that the person on the other end is truly clueless, or has a learning disorder or something.

Peace.

There is a function on ebay that allows the system to automatically reject any bids below a certain amount. Just use that and you won't get upset or frustrated because you won't even know you received some crappy offers.

An ebayer offered to trade me the Brooklyn Bridge for a T206 Walter Johnson. I
nixed the tempting offer as I live in a condo and didn't have the room. Besides,
he would have required me to pick it up.

End the auction early! Then you will have many e-mails from the pissed off people. They will offer you more money than the card is worth to show you how dumb you are for ending it early.

I had the same thing happen a couple of weeks ago. I listed of lot of 5 Mantles, including a 57, an Aaron/Mantle, and 3 others. Nothing special, but they were Mantles. Within a few minutes after listing this lot some guy sends me a message with an offer for $80 shipped.

During my 1500-2000 sales on ebay I have only closed one auction early. The buyer offered me quite a bit more than I was expecting from this item, but I still have mixed feelings about closing this auction early.
