Instead of dollar amounts I look at it as what % are they willing to take. It has gotten a lot worse in my experience in the last few years. You have to overprice you cards by 10-20% because everyone NEEDS to get it cheaper than your listing price.
As an example I listed a card at 2K and didn't get any takers. Then relisted it at $2250 and sold it for the $2K within hours.
It sadly seems like everyone wants to haggle. Seems like no matter the first offer I put in they come back with another offer. I have got those silly 1 or 3 dollar off responses when I make offers close to their asking price. If I low ball them with my first offer I get a decent counteroffer I usually accept.
