I don't really understand those kind of strategies sales. Maybe they don't know why I am do damned cheap?  ...(it's in my DNA).
But if I have something for sale on a Best offer, for years, and someone offers within 10-20 percent, they own it.

I've had quite a few situations where a seller will have an item listed for more than I can pay, but I'll make an offer for what I can afford and they'll decline it. I'll keep it in my watch list and every couple of months I'll re-offer the same offer as before. Eventually, they give in and take my offer cause their item has been sitting there for 8 months without even a whiff of another offer. Always happens on Venezuelans, LOL.
