I've done that a number of times, with my main intent being to stress to the seller that their asking price is way out of line. I have no delusions that they might actually accept my offer. Although I have seen best offers accepted at 25% of BIN price on occasion (when the seller knows they are shooting for the moon and agree to take just reaching the clouds instead).

Phil - you get it! I've had offers of 33% lower than the listing accepted on the OBO. The price I'm offering is reasonable because the offers are being accepted.

William, I don't know what you were selling for $6K and had an offer of $4.2K so it's probably not good to speculate if the offer was reasonable. Reasonable is obviously "subjective", just like grading. Just curious, what's your ebay seller ID, who knows, you might have something I could use and if the price is too high (my opinion), I can always send you a N54 offer (probably your asking price minus all the ebay fees).
To all -
Besides that resource (Vintage Links) which has ebay users, is there a list anywhere else in N54 which allows N54 members that ACTIVELY sell on ebay to make themselves known? Hey, I understand that ebay needs to make money, but they make a ton already - why not offer the stuff in the BST with a prices sans the reasonable ebay fees.
