I think 40 seems reasonable for a card priced at 50 OBO. As a buyer I would not be pleased if a seller was only willing to go down 5 bucks.
As a seller I would started a little higher if 45 was my minimum. 60 or 70.

There was a time before all of the current BIN/Best Offer nonsense when, as a seller, you had to run auctions on eBay. And everything was okay, because there were a lot of motivated buyers that didn't let stuff go for cheap.
eBay destroyed this by pushing sellers to the fixed price format. Sellers throw inventory on the site and can re-list it forever with no fees. If eBay can ever remember the differences between commodities and collectables and act on it, the hobby would be in much better shape. Bill

After I burned my best offers on a card today listed at 325 OBO, which were auto declined even though I wasn't that far away, I emailed the seller and asked him what he was looking for. He said 325. I responded why do you have a best offer then? He didn't explain.

I start with low offers quite a bit. You never know, sometimes they're accepted. I hate it when a seller doesn't respond at all. Just send a "sorry, I can't budge" or "this is my bottom dollar" note so I know where you stand.
As a seller I always set the auto accept/decline options so I don't have to fool with it. As a buyer I prefer that as well so I don't have to wait for a response.

There are TONS of cards on ebay that are way overpriced! As a buyer it gets old seeing the same stuff over and over and over...... I hardly ever pay the BIN price because of all the overpriced cards(unless it's something I feel I got to have!)If something has a best offer option I will make an offer of what I'm willing to pay. If they accept all is good. If I get a counter offer I usually decline.
Need more auctions and less overpriced BIN prices! Wish ebay had an option delete each item (once I've seen it and don't want it) out of my search. So I only see it when it's first listed and keep it out of my search once it is relisted also. When you pointed out that it was a EPDG and said thanks the guy probably took it as you being an a**. When he said your welcome you might have thought the same. In my opinion accept or decline would be best.

I like using the OBO option on items where the value is less precise or where the market is not quite as active. In some circumstances, sellers are not entirely sure if the price they want on an item is realistic, so they can set the price but invite offers to attempt to gauge the market. T206, though, is such a well-defined and active market that there is very little variance or room for negotiating on lower-end stuff. As you say, it's a PSA 2 EPDG which implies you expect the buyer to know what that's worth. If everyone has the same knowledge of values, or is expected to, why bother with negotiating? $35 for a EPDG / 2 would have been a great deal for the second guy who offered, but his throwing that out as an initial bid is hardly an insult.

Has anyone ever tried to offer a price on a 707 card? In my experience, it's pretty frustrating. They rarely accept a price even a couple percentage points below the BIN. As others have said, they should just offer the price they're willing to accept so both parties don't waste time. Per the rules, Sam Swartz.
