I try to price my listings at or very close to market as I don't make money via card selling letting items sit around at high prices. Based on my pricing, most all of my items sell within 12 months of listing, with the majority in the first 3 months. Therefore, I see no need to consider offers. In each of my listings, I point out that the price is firm.
Even with this firm pricing statement in each listing, I still receive offers, several a day in some cases. Most of my responses to these offers are typically along the lines of: "As mentioned up front in the listing, prices are firm. Thanks."
For a while, I simply responded with "no thanks" on the first offer, however that response would inevitably lead to a follow-up offer. On the follow-up offer, I then would go back and point out the pricing is firm and noted up front in the lising
The number of NASTY responses I receive back just amazes me. At least half of the responses end up with the user blocked for their nastiness.
So, with all that said, what is a polite response (that will not lead to another pricing query question) to a user who sends over an unsolicited offer?
