I would never even consider doing business with this seller again, unless they had a card I absolutely could not find anywhere else.

Why did he even put up an or best offer if he's not willing to accept 95% of his asking price?

Agree with a few folks here. If you offered 95 and it was 100 and they want to wait? That's crazy talk there. As a seller, I'd have pulled the trigger immediately on that offer. A $5 moral victory is a pretty thin one. If it's not something that's difficult to find, move on. If it is, buy it and move on realizing that the person is basically crazy.

I see this all the time in my job. Customers will raise holy hell at me because they think their $150 bill is $3 too high. I had one lady who had four screaming matches (one with me, two with my manager, one with the head of the whole airport) because her bill came to $70 and she thought it should be $66. There's just no fix for batshit crazy.
