I get rediculous offers daily. I sell the majority of my stuff for 85-100% of my asking price. If I know it is a member from the boards or repeat customer I will pass along the savings of fees to them doing a private deal with PP gift or check. Sometimes this resluts in 20%+ off an item. I usually do not budge unless the purchase is $100+. Then 10-15% off is typical depending on the amount spent. I try to price items around VCP average with a 15% or so "buffer" because in theis market everyone wants to make offers. Now on some tougher items or $30 and less most collectors just buy the item and move forward. Sometimes if they do this on multiples I just surprise them on the invoice with free shipping. I may also ask if they need any other store items and offer 10% off anything additional or 15% off privately.
