Coming soon to a 'Collectorisms' thread near you...

When an eBay seller sends you an offer to buy his card at an obscene price, but it is not based on you adding the card to your watch list, but merely because you took a second to view the listing.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Overpaying yesterday is simply underpaying tomorrow.

There is a bear up 1950 Bowman Stengel on eBay that the guy listed at $19 it’s trimmed, written on, paper loss. Seller is accepting offers. I offered $12. Guy rejected it. I offered $15, Guy rejected it. What was the seller expecting?

Roger that, been happening to me for some time now. It is not only cards that the offers come from. Happen with my other hobbies as well.

Sometime it becomes worth it, most time it is a delete and move on.....again.

Yep I get offers from items I just looked at and do not have an interest in. Example..Levi's that are the wrong size. People who pay more monthly have the ability to send offers to lookers not just watchers. I have noticed that ebay let's me send offers out when there are no watchers on certain items. As nice as concierge is they have conflicting answers about this subject

Default me too
Im getting offers to buy at 10% off a crazy high price just from a brief look. Dont even bother to click "NO" because that might give a hint of interest. Along the lines of offers, I have had many back and forths with offers (and an explanation) from me at half or even less the BIN price with successful deals..... but also a few like the time I offered $300 on an overpriced item for $600...... and the counter came back at $599 ( from apparently a fellow Net54 guy!!! ). Guess that was his way of telling me where to go LOL

If someone lists an item for an amount that is truly twice it’s market value, in my experience it’s just better to ignore the item and not put yourself through the charade of attempting to get the person to a reasonable price.

But like I said..... especially if the item has run a while with multiple relistings..... Ive bought a bunch of items at 50% or less. But I agree..... you get a lot of HELL NOS for every YES.... I stay polite and respectful, it helps IMO... even if the deal doesnt go through, I can be at peace with my own self. Hate to get into pissing contests over baseball cards but it can happen.
