My pet peeve

[buymycards]

In all of my years selling on eBay, I have NEVER had a buyer respond with another offer after I have countered their original offer. I always try to build a little wiggle room into my pricing, and I normally accept offers that are 20-30% off of my original price. When I receive an offer from someone who makes an offer that is 40-50% of my asking price, I send a counter offer that is 20-30% of my asking price, but no one ever responds. It is usually someone who is looking to buy something to flip, or someone new to eBay who thinks the sellers get their cards for free and everything is profit.

Pet peeve - Use your turn signals when driving. I don't know how many times I wait to turn when the other car is coming, and wait safely and patiently, with my turn signal on, then all of a sudden out of the blue the other car turns without turn signal. It is a new age in driving, a new age of privileged drivers that have no clue and think they are too good to use turn signals. Jeez, people, Ugh! Its maddening. And very unsafe. Look how many times other drivers should have their turn signal on, and don't. It will surprise you. Its an epidemic.

At least he put his signal light on before he actually turned this thread.

That's odd, because while it's not the rule, it definitely happens for me on occasion. Of course the punchline is I always counter with my best offer the first time and I explain that, so it's pretty irrelevant. maybe some people like to think of it as a challenge. I always re-respond with the same exact number.
