eBay seller amintcollector
Good morning, was curious if any members have experience with this seller. Has a lot of positive feedback and some very nice items listed. I placed a bid on an item a few days ago that was 35% over the highest of the last 5 VCP sales and it was declined (not auto declined, manually) without a counter offer or comment. I then submitted a second offer that was 2x the highest of the last 5 VCP sales and it was also declined (not auto declined, declined manually) without a counter or comment. I also messaged the seller and asked why no counter offer on the item (as eBay only allows 3 offers to be made on an item) and received no reply.
I understand the seller may want more than I offered for the item, and that's absolutely their prerogative. However, I was a little dismayed that there wasn't a "thanks for the offer" or a counter offer as I thought these were strong offers for this item.
Anyone have experience with this seller as I don't want to waste my last offer for the item... Thanks.

I've never dealt with that seller but here's something i always do before sending a Best Offer to any seller. I go to their Feedback as a seller and look for listings they sold with Best Offer then find one that is at/near the price of the card i'm interested in buying. Click on the auction,copy the URL then paste it into this site:

You'll see roughly what they're willing to discount. Could be up to 50% off or could be just 5% off. Maybe even checkout some of his other sold listings in the same price range as the one you want to buy.
Try this before sending any offers next time and you'll have a rough idea of what type of discounts that seller gives before you send a single offer. I have had great success using this method,give it a shot and see what happens.

Thanks Eric, that's very interesting - I hadn't used that tool before. I'll definitely check it out!
