A couple of times over the past 25 years on ebay, I've gotten the lowball offer accompanied by the money is tight sympathy play. My response was "If your money is tight, you probably shouldn't be spending what you do have on baseball cards..."

I know what I want to pay, but I'm not pushy.

If an offer I make is rejected outright that's the end for me. Either the seller thinks I'm far away from where he needs to be or he's not interested in selling for less.

If a counter-offer is made and it's excessively too high I reject it, explain we're really far apart, and thank them for their consideration. That's also the end for me.

This has led to near total lack of drama for decades. I could have maybe hustled to make some deals happen that I missed out on not being more aggressive, but I also probably would have ended up on some seller's ban lists if I did take that route.

Should send them a link to a financial planning web site.
