There is no black or white answer here. You'll get just as many different types of people as you get answers here.
I've had the same thing happen. I counter most of the time because most offers I find are lower (people trying to get a steal). I too get a little irritated when someone just lets the offer expire rather than counter or decline. I would never ignore an offer.
One thing that has worked for me at times, is to make sure to include a message with it, including thanking them for their offer. Something to the effect of:
Thank you for your offer. I would be more comfortable at $XX. If you can do that please accept and I will get your card shipped out today.
If it is a final, final offer I will change the text to reflect that. Occasionally, I will factor shipping and say I can deduct x to cover shipping or in your case remind them that your price includes shipping, well packed in a bubble mailer with tracking.
