O/T Pet Peeve on Best Offers (Ebay)

[Archive]

Posted By: Doug

I haven't had a lot of luck with the best offer feature buying or selling. Usually when buying I run into a card with a buy it now that's twice what the card is worth and if I make a reasonable offer it's usually ignored or countered with a price that's barely different than the buy it now. When I sell something I usually try to list it at what I consider a fair price with a little "bargaining room", but it seems like the great majority of the offers I get are less than half of what the card is worth. Given that, I still respond to all of them. If it's close to something I'd accept I will counter with the least I'd be willing to take. If it's ridiculously low, I just politely decline it and go on.
