I just need other opinions

I've had the same thing happen. I counter most of the time because most offers I find are lower (people trying to get a steal). I too get a little irritated when someone just lets the offer expire rather than counter or decline. I would never ignore an offer.

One thing that has worked for me at times, is to make sure to include a message with it, including thanking them for their offer. Something to the effect of:

Thank you for your offer. I would be more comfortable at $XX. If you can do that please accept and I will get your card shipped out today.

If it is a final, final offer I will change the text to reflect that. Occasionally, I will factor shipping and say I can deduct x to cover shipping or in your case remind them that your price includes shipping, well packed in a bubble mailer with tracking.

That is interesting, but I am curious, If you received that note with a counter would it make a difference?

It ultimately depends on the card and the dollars. But personally, I like communication. Some people don't care about it, but buying or selling, I am good with discussing the sale particulars. So it could sway me slightly if I really like the card and get a good feel through the messages. I generally have more confidence in the deal and how things will be handled with positive communication with a seller or buyer.

If a price is borderline, then politeness goes a long way.
