If they can write an actual sentence I will usually reply.

Haha yes, this annoys me too.

But if people are pleasant, reasonable, and coherent, I don't mind them sending an offer.

I make offers on fixed price items many times.

What I am getting from this thread is that I need to start offering at least 51% of the fixed price .

And a stamp sheet for no apparent reason except it's bright and colorful. From the bay about a year and a half ago...

As a Seller , I like the "Dutch Auction" Option if you don't really know the price of an item and it has several sells at various prices. For example: Start the Sell at $100 and you can have the price lowered by any amount and any time frame. For Example: lower the price by $ 1 every 30 days until your minimum price is reach ( $ 75 ). This is done automatically so you don't need to relist or reprice an item.
