O/T Pet Peeve on Best Offers (Ebay)

[Archive]

Posted By: Jeff Lichtman

Red, fair questions. The card was won a few weeks back with one bid -- the starting price on the card. No one bid on it for a week because it was overpriced as it was. Finally, the winner put a snipe in at the end and was the only bidder for the card -- thus making it clear to me and everyone else who watched the card that it was overpriced -- except to this one bidder. So maybe the bidder was willing to pay 50% more for the card; however, not a single bidder was willing to even pay what he paid for it -- and then he immediately tried to flip it for nearly double the price he paid for it, just a few weeks later. Still think my offer to pay what he paid for it was a bad offer, not even worthy of a response?
