eBay offer etiquette

[doug.goodman]

All's fair in love, war, and on ebay.

I make offers for amounts that I consider to be a fair price, with no regard for the asking price. If accepted, great. If countered, maybe. If rejected, no hard feelings. There is always going to be another one.

My offer acceptance is often set to a level that I might be willing to think about, often set to accept any amount, just because it's easy to ignore if I care to, and often I don't even have the offers turned on. It all varies from item to item, and sometimes I change them.

Many of my items might qualify as "museum pieces" since my prices are set on the high end, but in my defense, none of them have anything similar listed on ebay (or often any place on the interwebs).

I buy off ebay frequently.

I sell off ebay even more frequently.

Ebay doesn't care about me, so I spend minimal time caring about ebay.
