AtariLeaf Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I had to deal with a dickish seller who seemed underwhelmed with my offer, which was $22 on a $30 item. (A recent similar item ended at $22.50) He countered with $28 so I countered with $24. The bizarre part was his next counter offer was $29 so I just ignored him at that point.

JamesD Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) I just figured I'd buy from someone else and rejected it*edit*I did think about offering 1 cent but I didn't think they would understand the significance.

I was selling some hard drives for $100, minimum automatic accept was $80. The guy offered me something like $50 on the $100, so I countered with $80. His answer was, again, $50. I ignored him after that. If the prick had gone to $55 or $60 I probably would have taken it, but he had to be an ass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bohoki Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 ebay has the checkbox for best offer already checked so some sellers do not notice it is a best offer and the only way to change it is to cancel the listing and relist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82-T/A Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 There's a guy selling an older KayPro 8088 computer. I have one exactly like it (my first computer) and I was hoping he could take a picture of the motherboard for me, or maybe even send me a larger version of the picture he already took of the motherboard. I need to see what resistors went in a specific place, since mine was damaged by battery acid. The guy was totally uninterested in helping me, and said if I just bought his, I wouldn't have to worry about fixing mine. He's asking $999.99 ($1,000 basically) for an 8088 Kay Pro. I love this computer, don't get me wrong, but it's not worth $1,000. One just sold for ~$240. And the one that he has isn't even that loaded. I mentioned to the guy that one sold for $240, and he got grouchy and told me there's a lot of dumb people out there "throwing them away" at that price... I was like, wow... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
