When buying a card or making an offer..especially on an internet site like net54 (seller of cards are able to post cards on other internet sites if already on net54..this isn't a private showing at a house) i am always aware that any offer i make on a card has to be high enough net to the seller that it wouldn't be worth their time to list on ebay after fees..

i always assume its not a firesale and they don't have to sell immediately, unless they state otherwise....

thus, the counter offer to any buyer offer is whatever the seller thinks can get on ebay, no?.....am i the only one that thinks that?

yes i know there is always gray area about what a card may go for..but for graded cards i would think the ultimate counter offer for market price is

"ill list on ebay"

or if not really want to sell at market price and/or want more than they would get on ebay

"ill keep it"

There are some seller prices i wish they would just sell it on ebay...so those sellers really don't ever counter with 'ill list on ebay' thus if they cant counter with that , then they really not trying to sell the card at market price ever.. (exceptions for easy sale, rarity with little price history, time delay etc, private collection etc)
