They are just trying to get someone to overpay who did not do their homework on the real value of the product..........it only takes one buyer. Offer what your willing to pay and if it's turned down........oh well
There are suckers born every minute and many of them go strictly by "book price". Dude walked into my store yesterday with a 1989 Score Football Set that he had "found" at a flea market and bought for $60 and wanted to know if I would be interested in it at $75. The reasoning is that it "booked" for $100 and since I dont own a Beckett, I really dont know which book he was talking about. He was surprised to learn that they generally sell in the $30-$35 for hand sets on ebay.
<< <i>Not sure why I didn't realize she was fishing. I've seen these auctions once and a while. I offered $20 for the box but she hasn't responded. >>
Because she sold a few in 2011 for $38. I bet she has sold a few since for more.
If I were her I wouldn't respond to a $20 offer either. It is insulting and not worth a start in any negotiations. If you want it you will come back higher and then the talks start.
I see boxes are selling for just over that in auction but if the price is at $247 it means she is not giving them away.
Edit: I only took a quick glance and saw lots were selling for 3 boxes with shipping for $60 or so. A further look and there are tons of sales in the $30 to $40 range for single boxes when including shipping.

At one point the seller accepted this offer. Probably just fishing.
