Ok - I see a comic that I'm looking for to finish a run. Seller has it listed at $50 buy it now or best offer. It's a nice copy, so I figure I'd shoot him an offer. I offer him $40. He countered with $49. Really??? A whole whopping dollar is what you're willing to go down? Why bother with the Best Offer option??? SMH

I once made a decent offer on Comic Connect for a book I wanted.

The seller responded with a price higher than he was initially asking.

I laughed and moved on.

Plenty sellers will only drop the price one dollar when you make them an offer. Happens to me quite often.

@Jesse_O Ugh, I hate that! It's like, why even bother with the Best Offer option if you're basically looking to get the BIN price?

I usually aim to get 15%-20% off the BIN price when I use Best Offers. When the seller's just screwing around like that, I usually just decline and look elsewhere.

If anything, you should counter with $39

lol, once I think I flatout offended a seller with my initial lowball offer that instead of countering he just banned me from his listings

$40 on a $50 book is more than reasonable. What's the listing? I'll offer him $41.

I don't have anything too pressing that I want.

I am trying to hold off for a big purchase. If I can make headway into my DD run I will be happy.

Do you mean you bid high on items you're trying to win, or you bid high on items you have in your collection and will later sell?

I bid high on items I'm trying to obtain so they are "SOLD" at that high price.

For example, if I'm trying to get maximum cheapest price on an item I snipe at the last 5 seconds obviously. BUT, If I want the item to sell extemely high...I bid like $2000 on the item on day 1 of the item being listed LMAO

I too hate when sellers pull that drop down $1 on a best offer crap. If a seller is taking best offers but won't even budge far enough to cover shipping cost I don't bother with their items anymore.

I just offered 85 on a book listed at 100. The seller didn't even respond to the offer. The book didn't sell and he has it relisted at 90.

The auction ended at $960. I had a max bid of $1600. I was going to win no matter what. What really shocked me was I wrote a personal letter of thanks asking his assistant to relay my message to him. I mentioned I loved his work on HM and preordered his first solo cover. After receiving the message via ebay Kevin told her to throw in a signed copy of his first solo cover of Heavy Metal from June or July 2016. Way cool.

I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for. drchaos private msg quote post Address this user

Then perhaps you should stop making low ball offers.

I submitted a bunch of them with Adam's signature in Baltimore and NYCC. Looking forward to see how they grade out.
