Default How do you handle a low ball offer?

Posted By: Joe D.

If you are selling something from your collection...
Since I love everything you have -
you could always tell a low-baller, "Joe D. would pay me much more for this."
(seriously - check with me first or last or during)


Its funny - I don't mind low ball offers so much, especially when I know who the person is - and I just respectfully pass on the offer and thank the person for their interest.

I do not like (and have had this many times)

-- When I list an asking price and a person asks me what the 'lowest' I would accept is.

-- Or when a person emails about a card posted but tries to seem disinterested. "I might be interested in...." Might? didn't you email me?

just a couple of minor pet peeves... but its all good.


I don't believe we ever traded - - so I can't say I understand what you mean when you say you are not the easiest to trade with.... but we almost had a sales transaction and throughout the correspondence you were a gentleman.
