O/T Pet Peeve on Best Offers (Ebay)

[Archive]

Posted By: Eric Brehm

Leon -- you are a wise man, with a fair and balanced attitude, and I think you are right, a buyer should be motivated only by what price they can get, not by how much the seller might or might not be gaining out of a deal. Push comes to shove, I am not in any big hurry to do business with a seller who makes small profits, if I don't get a good price on my end. On the other hand, I do think it is true, in baseball card trading as well as any other business, that a savvy buyer can use knowledge of the seller's position to their advantage in negotiating a price. What else is new. But I'm just a mathematician who lives in a dream world of ideals. And for some crazy reason likes vintage baseball cards.
