speaking of ebay situations>>> heres a comical one

im selling an item for 125$ or best offer with free shipping, (item weighs about seven pounds) i receive and decline an offer of $85 from bidder A, i explain to him that im paying the shipping which will be a minimum of $10 he then offers 90$ while im declining this offer, bidder B pulls the trigger, bidder A notices that its no longer available and contacts me through ebay and offers 120$ i explain to him that it sold at 125$. his response is "ill pay the full 125$ if you dont sell it to the other guy" when i politely decline that, his response is: "i hope you (BLEEPING) drop it and it breaks in half !!" to that i respond, that wouldnt be much of a problem because i have two more. LOL then he asks if i will sell him one of the other two that i have .. my response was not as polite this time.
regardless of how many posts I have, I don't consider myself an "expert" at anything

Had a similar one.
Listed a coin for $799 on e-bay with BIN or Best Offer
Get offer of $600, countered at $650 within 1 hour of listing. Sold 1 1/2 hours later at full price. First bidder then asks if I have another for his price..
Happens all the time! If you price it right, stick with your guns.

<< <i>I had a coin listed last month with a $129 Buy It Now / Best Offer. Someone came along and offered $85, which was automatically rejected. His second offer of $95 came through, and I countered at $109, saying that was my absolute rock-bottom price. He then sent his third and final offer of $105. I'm sure he figured I wouldn't walk away from a sure sale over four bucks. I'm also sure he was quite wrong about that. I ended up selling it about a week later for $115 (to a different bidder).

<< <i>I have been on the bay since 02. I am unaware of the "blocked list". How do I find the feature to block specific bidders? >>
Easiest way to find it is go to "site map" at the bottom of the page...find "add buyer to blocked list" ...click...add...save ...done
I have a link somewhere but it's more a pain to find it than to use the site map
