I agree with the OP. There is a card from a board member I've wanted on eBay for a little while now. We've communicated about it in the past, but we've always been around $100 off in price from where he wanted to be ($700), and where I wanted to be ($600).
A few weeks back, I threw in an offer of $650 because I had an 8% off coupon. No dice - we couldn't bridge the gap. Today, I emailed the seller and asked if he would take $700 for the card, knowing that it would cost me $600 to purchase it with the 15% off coupon. He said yes, so I threw in the offer and got the card. He got his $700, and I got my $600. I am happy and feel like I got the deal I wanted, and I genuinely hope that the seller is also happy. We obviously had differing ideas of value - or where we felt comfortable transacting on the card - and the coupon helped us bridge the gap and both get what we want.
