Dealer mad for good reason?

[1952boyntoncollector]

When a card is listed with 'make an offer' on ebay..

and there appears to be a reserve with automatic rejection...

is it card collecting protocol to just make your highest offer on the card..or can you bid up incrementally (you only get 3 offers that can be rejected than you cant make an offer again for the forseeable future so it would not be useful just go up a dollar) to see what the lowest amount that gets past the auto rejection..

i had a dealer say that my first offer that was auto rejected (in which i made 2 increased offers without any counteroffers, the second of which got past the auto rejection) was a low ball offer..and since i make such low ball offers he was offended..

just trying to find out if first, you understand what im explaining happened and second whether you really take that first offer seriously that auto rejected when the buyer increased the offers to pass the auto rejection..


Ok now im going to hear it ..i not expecting great comments but hey..this stuff does happen....
