Dealer mad for good reason?

I like this approach. But does it work?

Are you still able to bid on other items or send BO requests to this dealer? If so, then he didn't ban you so he must not have been that offended.

If they respond, it ends up in a sale about 33% of the time. But, response rate is lower than that.

One seller refused to tell me because I made what he considered a low ball offer. When I explained the GAI 7.5 didn't convince me of the condition because the photo wasn't clear and could he provide me a scan or better photos, he told me to have a blessed day. If I thought it would have crossed to a 7, I would have paid his asking price.
