It was listed at $950 and I feel it's a $500-$600 card. Me- Hi, I'm very interested in this card. Would you take $650? That's as high as I can go. Thanks for considering. Seller- Sorry Dave I can't go that low Me- ok, thank you Seller- You're welcome No one flipping out, ranting or wadding up panties for Christ sake. Last edited by Stonepony; 05-24-2017 at 01:45 PM.

I agree with what everyone else is saying. My first thought was if you're really offering $1000 on a card listed at $3000, the seller might see it, chuckle or sigh and then quickly forget about it.
I don't use "best offer" when I sell on ebay, but I'll sometimes get an ebay message with someone asking me if I can take $150 for a card I have listed at $300. I get these alerts right away and often I am in line at a store or something when I see them. For an offer like that, I'm not going to drop everything and reply "no thanks" to them, so it will sit until I'm at home on my desktop and see it again.

Couple of questions. If you make an offer can you put your own time limit on it in a note to seller that eBay will recognize, as someone suggested above ? Also, I think eBay gives you the option to retract your offer before the seller responds, right ? If you do that, does it show up as a bid retraction on your eBay record, the same as retracting a bid on an auction ?

I don't think this is always a negotiation strategy. As others have said, sometimes you get busy. The dealer could have seen the offer, but he likely has to do some research to see if that is a price he is willing to accept. He may need some time to look at VCP, see the price he purchased the card for, look at other places the card may have been sold for, etc. Therefore, the dealer may have seen the offer, but still may need a good 45min block of time to do the research and come back with a counteroffer or take the offer as is. And sometimes, it can be hard to find that chunk of time.

If you make a stupid lowball offer I will not even respond. People that are reasonable get a reasonable response. Simple. I buy and sell and treat respect with respect. If you do not like it you can always move on. I treat my purchasing the same way. If a seller is grossly overpriced and will not deal I simply move on without bitching about it.
