You have to hate lowballing buyers

jlzinck · 07-27-2012, 12:19 PM

I had a card for sale and some clown offered me 1/2 of what the last one sold for. I didn't even bother to counter as he is too cheap to but it.

What do you think?

sd_navarre · 07-27-2012, 12:20 PM

Definitely getting a kick out of all your threads lately, keep up the good work

Wait.....you don't think.......

In all seriousness when I price my items on Ebay I do so right around where they have been closing. I auto decline anything less than 60% of what I am offering it for so I would not have that that person's offer. Though if I did I would giggle and decline with no counter offer.

I don't set up shop at Flea Markets and won't do the same on Ebay

Different animal here. I was not the full owner of the card and we were trying to capitalize on the Ginter fire.

I Accepted all offers and ran them past the co-owners of the card!!

Yeah, I figured.

Someone still offered you less than 50% of your BIN though, right? That guy wasn't a lowballer though. How are buyers supposed to know when 50% is ok and when it's not?

I just figure if you're selling, you want offers. If they're bad it takes maybe 10 seconds to counter. I hate them as much as anyone but that's selling. If you get bombed with low offers, you can just ignore them.

popmaz · 07-27-2012, 01:54 PM

To me it is not even worth it to counter on ebay anymore. I have countered hundreds of times and no one ever bothers to respond. I just set the auto decline and let it do its job.

If it my card I would have offered it at about $75 and auto delined all offers of $40. So I would never see a $15 offer.

I offer what I am willing to pay for a card. So if you have a Gronk for $100 that I am paying $70 for I wont start it at $40 and haggle. I will offer you my price and a note along with it. You don't want it that's cool.

Same goes for selling here. I have had people want items I have had. I tell them make me your best offer and I will either say yes or no.

People get too pissy about these things.

I like to parody some of these things.

You two timing bastard

zep · 07-27-2012, 02:52 PM

What's even worse is when you accept their offer and then they don't pay

JosieD · 07-27-2012, 09:14 PM

Yes, I do hate low ballers. Staple the damn things to your leg, if need be. i don't want to see them bounce.

Jenkinssssss · 07-28-2012, 02:50 PM

This warrants a thread? Pretty common and happens with every single high end chrome auto that I forget to put autodecline on.
