Default ~~Post the craziest seller offer you've ever received~~

I know mine will be tough to beat, but I'd still like to see others!

He could have at least increased the price 10% and then gave you a 10% off offer.

How much did you offer for the card?

The only way I would make my counter-offer to the buyer @ the full price is if they gave me a ridiculously low offer.

so what he actually did was have it listed at 999.99, then sent me the offer, and by the time I'd seen the offer, he already lowered his price to the offer price he'd sent.

I just found it pretty funny. I was seeing it late last night and thought it was just the alcohol in me

I do this as a seller - realize its mispriced, send an offer but lower theprice as well

The craziest offers to me are when comps on a card are $3500 and the guy sends you an offer of $7k. Like, it's not a RC, not a rookie that's moving up, and one just sold for 3500 and you're offering me the chance to pay double.... rollseyes.jpg.

That looks like an offer sent by the seller to anyone watching or anyone who looked at the listing.

This was my most recent favorite. I saw it, but by the time I clicked on it, the seller had already ended the listing. I assume obviously it was a mistake, probably meant to be $750

It's wild how, when this feature was new, I'd get some pretty great offers [meaning offers that would actually have me mulling over buying something I wasn't planning on buying]. I feel like over the last year, most sellers now only use it to send 5-8% off, and just basically use it as advertising what they have, as opposed to actually trying to make a sale.

if it is actually something as innocent as that, then that's understandable I guess. Otherwise it doesn't make much sense to me

Kinda the opposite, but I had a card listed for 279.99 with best offers allowed of $200+. Last night I got an email that someone offered me.... $279.99. I accepted and he paid within about 5 minutes, still super confused but I'll take it lol.

I get that all the time. The problem is, my BIN's have immediate payment required. If I make someone an offer and they accept, they have four days to pay. Makes no sense.

This happened to me this week actually. PCing Jalen Brunson is usually not expensive, but this seller thought that a 3rd-year sticker auto /25 should cost this much (when Flawless patch autos from his 2nd year go for around $35).

Another two gems from the listing:
In the description: "OFFERS are NOT being accepted for this listing" so I guess I wont try to send a message to help him sell this card.
The title: 2 fire emojis, the wrong year and Prizm for some reason?
