Does that actually work? I have never had a seller send me a lower counter offer unless I sent in a second offer first. Most people don't like negotiating against their own offers.

My guess is he meant as a seller, he would wait the 48 hours to see if he received a better offer from a different buyer before accepting (or at least responding to) the original offer from the 1st buyer.

I've done this a couple times, but usually when the offer came within a couple days of the listing, thinking I may have miscalculated the initial value.

So I love the Make an Offer option most of the time. I'd say that 95% of sellers get back to me within an hour, and because I feel I make pretty fair offers most of mine are accepted.

I was looking at some Kershaw Five Star auto that seller had listed for $90 with an offer. I offered $80. He countered at $89. See ya buddy... no thanks.

If i get an offer on an item that has been listed for a while, i typically will jump on it right away. If i get an offer on a card that i JUST listed (same day) I typically wait to see if the buyer will get anxious and go ahead and BIN or perhaps another buyer will come along and BIN while the offer is still pending. I do NOT let the BIN offer expire.. at least i do not do that purposefully. some might slip through the cracks.

You just set automatic accept or reject and not have to deal with low ball offers.

Is there a date when the card was listed or a way to know if it's been available for a while?

As a seller, if I get a lowball offer I typically don't even take the time to go decline it. I think of the 2 day expiration as an automatic decliner. That's only for offers that I question if it's a serious offer or not. If it's a decent offer, I'll at least counter it
