Rocky, what were the listed prices of the 2 items? Were they $10 items you tried to get $5 off or $1000 you tried to get $500 off?

$120 including postage ….. success at $60 delivered. $125 plus postage ( been up forever) offered $50 plus postage (NO WAY). I think it’s always worth reaching out in a polite manner but sometimes the price is firm and that’s that. No hard feelings. Enjoy the hobby everyone! Rocky

I get seller offers on things I've just looked at now. But as a seller I can't send offers on some of the items I'd like to send offers on. Ebay is ridiculous.

And now, as of Mid-August they're dropping American Express as an accepted form of payment. That will be a massive hit to my Delta miles and status unless I can find a work around.

All I would kindly ask of buyers who make offers when no OBO is featured: read the description before doing this. If the seller makes it incredibly clear they don't want to hear your lower offers, then be respectful of that.

Heh, that is one of my pet peeves, besides other people in general. One particularly obnoxious wannabe playa asked for my “best” on an item and that I should “lmkoninsta” which I had to think about for a minute while I translated it from Douchebag to English. I had a BIN on the item anyway but playa’s 30% offer got automatically rejected, hence the message.

Thanks for the actual laugh! That dictionary needs to exist, NOW!

It's my hugest peeve as a seller. I get so fed up with "what is your BEST price?". You're seeing it, buddy, hence no OBO--and you already know this, so go make offers on things with OBO attached. And if somebody even tries to drop the non-word "comps" into the equation, the conversation is over. I'm selling things that offer little-to-nothing in the way of recent comparables by which to compare prices. Go have a playdate with 130point and your rainbow of parallel refractors.

I've said it so many times. I really wish prices had always been non-negotiable in this industry. This isn't some street market in Bangladesh where you buy your counterfeit Jordache. If I went into nearly any other type of North American business and tried to negotiate a cheaper price, the response would rightfully be laughter or anger. All this negotiation in the collectibles realm just keeps non-hobbyists thinking of the industry as a pathetic flea market. I'm certain that it plays a huge element in preventing the industry from ever being taken seriously by ignorant outsiders: "No, seriously! What do you do for a living?".

All of this playfully snide talk is from the vantage point of hypocrisy, as I have naturally negotiated during the course of transactions, and am furthermore made a hypocrite in that I prefer to negotiate as a buyer rather than a seller!

I must be completely bereft of the douchebag gene, because I’ve spent waaaaay more then a minute trying to decipher that term, and I’m still at a complete loss for what it means.

Many times I will do the same. It doesn't hurt to ask.
