I'm more a memorabilia guy, so if I see an item that I feel is worth say $500, but the seller has a list price of $1200... I'm supposed to offer close to that?? Nope. I'll make a fair offer on THE VALUE, not the ridiculous list price. If the seller is offended... So be it, but that's not my goal.

Understood...and a lot of them do start off with ridiculous BINs. I didn't say that you have to be close to their BIN though. I meant your offer should be a best offer, no matter their BIN. In your example, if you feel that a $500 offer on a $1200 item is a fair offer, so be it. Offer that amount. My point was, submit your Best Offer the first time. Some people like to negotiate. Some don't. But it's called a
BEST offer for a reason.
