But just throwing in a lowball offer with the mindset that the seller should be a mindreader knowing what you are thinking is quite presumptuous and probably not the best strategy. |

Pete, I think we can all agree that a total lowball offer is silly and unproductive. My premise is based on offering just under vcp when the seller is way over on his obo price. For example, if the last psa 7 of a particular card sold on pwcc for 1500, but had better registration and centering than this one, is 1200 a lowball offer? There are many variables in this particular argument.

I use OBO as a bartering platform. Because I remain an emotional buyer, market value sometimes isn't the biggest concern...depending on how much I want that particular item.
I never makes super low bids on items I feel are worth a lot more. Treat folks with respect during the process and you will usually come to a price that's agreeable to both of you. Of course, my way, the seller usually gets the better end of the deal, but I wind up paying what I still feel comfortable with. I would never, however, say something like, "some room for negotiating". Instead, I enjoy the chess match that ensues. I have had experiences with owners who barely budge off their BIN - like upwards of 90% - and I almost never make those purchases. I'm sure my emotional method has me frequently paying more than I could, but, at least with the back and forth, I get the illusion that I'm saving some money- and I can live with that. That's my 2 cents worth...but my OBO is a penny and a half.
