COMC - What is your Minimum Offer %

[peterose4hof]

If you don't mine sharing...what is your COMC Minimum Offer % and what's your reasoning behind it?

Mine is set at 70%. I will generally accept most offers and only counteroffer if the card is really hot at the moment. If I were planning on doing more counter-offers I would set the % lower, but I would rather not have to go back and forth with potential buyers.

I just set the cards at the lowest amount that I'd take for the card.

I listen to offers down to 50% but I don't have auto accept on

I get kind of annoyed when people just offer half, but occasionally it will be a card I don't have much invested in from buying a port and I'll accept because I'm still profitable

[Ajax1723]

I have 50% on. Most of the cards I send to comc are cards that mean profit already, so as long as I'm close to market I accept offers. But there are some that 50% just doesn't make sense! and I will decline.

[Coug46n2]

I have a auto accept rate of 80% and I take offers down to 60%. If I get an offer at 60%, it's rare that I don't accept it. I just like that extra cushion in case the player or card is really hot at the moment.

Right now I'm experimenting with auto accept of 35% off and minimum offer of 35% off. When I was accepting offers of 50%, I was getting lots of offers of 50% off. Then I'd have to either accept or counter and then I'd get a counter to the counter and if I was gone for a while, the buyer had to wait to see if I accepted and whatnot.

Now, it's a lot easier. Stuff either sells or it doesn't, and I don't have to actively participate in any haggling. Studies have shown that you can only make so many decisions in a day until you get decision fatigue. So, automating this process helps me to save those decisions for important things like what to eat for lunch.

If sales slow down for a bit, I might use the bulk editor to reduce all of my prices across the board, or I might have a promotional sale.

Right now, I'm in a bit of a state of limbo with COMC because I want to see what develops with the new catalog and new pricing features that are coming.

80%...I'll listen to anything but I have some super cheap cards and cards I'm flipping where more than 20% might not get the flip. Lots of cheap cards lol.

I have Auto Accept at 10% off.

I will take offers up to 50% off. Always willing to negotiate.

Bringing up this old thread to review the question. How does everybody deal with minimum offer percentage. I am finding that it almost guarantees that every offer I receive is at the minimum percentage regardless of price. I try to price all my stuff to move. I accept a lot of the offers and counter others, but sometimes I just get big chuckle out of the process at times. Here is an example, names have been hidden to protect the innocent.

Offer for three cards: asking prices of .35, .50, and 1.00, for a total of $1.85.
The next of these exact cards on the site were .50, .75, 1.80 for a total of $3.05
I have my minimum set to 80% so I get an offer for 1.48 on the nose. Just as an experiment I countered with $1.50 to round it off. Counter rejected.
I also get offers for minimum on cards priced .25 and below (lowest on the site by at least a nickel if not more). So an offer of .16 for a marked down .20 card. Both these instances, the buyer can't spring for the extra 2 to 4 cents??

Again, I don't get worked up over this and just accept where I want and counter the others. Life is too short to get upset about cards. I just thought these anecdotes were amusing.

Minimum bid is .25 and I listen to offers up to 65% off. It is hard when you have to use the same criteria for such a broad range of items and values. I try to always be the lowest or damn close though so I don't see a huge need to let people offer much lower. It ends up just wasting my time in having to reject offers and pissing them off because their lowballs weren't accepted.

I routinely will reject and raise prices. It is frustrating when I have a card listed for say 1.50 and the next lowest are $3.00 or more and someone will offer me .80. I will usually be thankful that they brought the underpricing to my attention, raise my price to $2.95 and then counter them at around $2.75. Still a better deal than they are likely to get from the next lowest but far more than they could have paid had they not been greedy. I try never to flat reject so even after raising the price I will still usually make a counter. If an offer is just way out of the ballpark, I will flat reject to send a message that we aren't even close. Sometimes that is the end of it and sometimes they come back with a realistic offer.

Having said that, I've been guilty of the greedy offer myself and have had it bite me more than once. I have learned which sellers don't play and if i find something they have that I want and it is priced even close to fair, I'll just hit the 'BIN'.

Anywhere from 50% to none....depends on my mood

[sabrgeek]

However, since I do use Amazon I will usually accept 20 percent off without an issue

Anyone who offers 50 percent off is usually an automatic reject unless it's a vintage card and then I re-examine the condition (on a couple of these cases I have actually rejected offers and then lowered prices because I missed major flaws)

But I do look at all offers before accepting

I'm at 50% off. I want to move cards quickly.

I use Amazon so i have auto accept set at 20% off. I allow offers between 30-50% depending on how busy I am, when i'm busy it's 30 when i'm not it's 50.

[Swipe79]

I have auto accept at 20% off, 30% off is my low ceiling right now. I stay on top of inventory, so I am generally the lowest or within pennies of the lowest on the site. Depending on the card, player, or quantity I will usually accept the 30% off.

[lisu]

i have mine set at 80% accept and 80% best offer. I got annoyed with all the lowball offers when I had it at 50%.

[aric88]

I have mine set to 50% and I don't do any auto accept. Some of my inventory I would gladly sell for 50% other stuff I don't really have much wiggle room at all so I take it case by case scenario.

I personally think it is a bad idea to ever reject an offer. I always counter-offer even if its the original price. My reasoning is that when you counter-offer the offer shows back up on the buyers front page. If you reject the offer the buyer has to scroll through offer history just to find the card shall they want to make another offer.

For example, when I am in a buying mood I may spend an evening making offers on hundreds of cards. When I wake in the morning I see what offers were accepted and what were counter-offered. I very rarely go back through my offer history to see what offers were flat out rejected and try to make a second offer. That card is now off my radar.

[Geir]

Mine is set at 50%.
I never want to give a potential buyer a strike by rejecting, and I try to accept all offers that would not make me take a significant loss on a card.

This is actually very smart and makes tons of sense.

I too try and avoid rejections so as not to max out the buyers strikes. You never know if that one last one is going to be the one that is acceptable. Sometimes they keep hitting me with extreme lowballs though and I can't wait to reject three times.

I'm intrigued, have you noticed a difference since the adjustment?

How do I set my minimum offer %

How do I set my minimum offer %

Bottom left tab that says account menu - under that click profile and options and you can set the minimum offer %.
