Ebay , make offer

[EvilKing00]

So i was buying a bat on ebay, one my son can use in games. Price is 35 or make offer. So i offered 19. Old bat which cant be used in little league. He counters me at $35. Hmmm ok, i really wanted it, so i upped my offer to $30. Never got a counter, so a day or so later offer expired. 🙀 why no counter ? So i just went in next day and got it for $35, but why bother with the ban make offer button lol

This is getting way more common on eBay and COMC. About a moth ago a seller had a card listed at $40. It is kind rare so I offered the $30 they sell for when you can find one. Never got a response but the seller raised the price to $50.

Got lucky and had the opposite happen on a very nice LS Wade Boggs promo bat recently. Seller had it listed as a game issued model for $250. I recently got the Malta book and messaged the seller(consignment seller) and explained what the bat really was and picked it up for $100.

Lot of silliness with this stuff. I've seen people selling cards for $950 OBO and then come back and tell you they "have to get" $925. Really. Then just list the damm card at $925.

Seller has a item listed at $20.99 with the best offer option. I sent a $19 offer and the seller countered with the $20.99 it is listed at. BLEEPING morons.

It's moron central on E-bay. Some guys like looking at their stuff and think it's worth more than it is. , No counter offer shows their business skills and tells you everything you need to know about them. ZERO's. Just pass to the next card...

I have run into a lot of this lately. I would complain but I have been known to do the same.

I ran into this last week where the seller had an auction starting for $6 obo. I offered $4 and was turned down. I think the sellers are hoping someone will offer above the start price for them to end the auction. Just a theory.
