He has high prices and I'm surprised he sells anything but they're his things and he can ask what he likes.

Just did it for me last week. Had a card listed for $1250 and accepted my offer of $800, which I thought was an eminently fair price.

while I tend to agree that this seller's starting prices seem a bit high, if he's anything like me, there is no magic % off that will always get a deal done. It depends on what I'm into the card for, and sometimes even, do I have a big purchase on the horizon and need some cash.

I have to agree that being combative in an offer is a good way to get turned down, and frankly I block people, never because of the amount of an offer, but sometimes because of the attitude. If that's how they are going to act before we even do business, I don't want to find out what they're going to be like when they can actually damage my reputation on ebay.
