Unless you need that extra twenty bucks to get out of jail or pay for the heart transplant, you don't really "have to get it...." but actually "want to get . . . ." twenty bucks more. Sellers (and not bashing sellers generally, as sometimes I am one) who use that just make me crazy. Maybe its just semantics and I'm an idiot. Why not just say its your final offer.

Apologies for venting. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
Maybe the seller is actually just a collector and needs to get what they paid out of the card. They are not a dealer, flipper, or casual seller just a collector who changed what they collect and getting rid of something they no longer want. So if the card does not sell at their price they really don't care.

I know this scenario is rare but it does happen.
