  Nope. But I told him that my offer was a standing one if he came down to Earth.
  Coinfacts indicated that 175-200 would be appropriate.

  the $210 was an ....offering.

  I had a good offer day on Monday on a item listed for $89.99 opening bid or make an offer. 7 Day auction with 17 Watchers no bid. I offer $80.00 for giggles in the morning knowing it should sell for $400.00+ with last second snipes. I was expecting a decline or counteroffer, but guess the seller got nervous 24 hours in with no starting bid? Moral of the story it arrives tomorrow

  I had one last month 7 days with no bids, opening at $9.99 - I offered $27, they declined and countered $35, I bid minimum and ended up winning it at $22.

  I have an Oman silver crown listed at $39.99 Someone offered $20. I countered at $35 - which is break even price for me - the bozo countered at $22. I may just block him and be done with it.

  Counter again at $37. Maybe he’ll catch on then although blocking is probably the best idea🙂

  Let's see.....block because the offer is perceived as too low?
  Nothing bad said in a message or anything. No rudeness. Person obviously values the item at a much lower price, or feels someone may HAVE to sell, so makes an offer they are comfortable with.

  But, block them because one doesn't like the offer? Who knows if they would pay asking price on anything in the future?

  I've made offers to sellers when I have thought they were more than a might too high. I've been successful and I've been unsuccessful. On some of the unsuccessful ones, I've kept them as a watched seller and there have been some purchases from them later.
  I must not have had one of the jumpy sellers, as they didn't block me just because they didn't like my offer price(s).

  I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  I offered $190 for a raw 1876-CC half in EF40 listed at $300 or best offer several years back. The dealer rejected the offer claiming the coin was worth over $300. He listed it on Ebay again with no reserve and I purchased it for $179.

  I'm half kidding. But since the initial foray, he's countered me at $24 and $25. It's simply a waste of my time to deal with low ball offers on a coin that has a $50 catalog value.

  You are viewing this as one person making one offer. Scale it up to dozens of people making dozens of low ball offers and you'll see why it is an annoyance. And if I refuse repeated offers, someone will just start a thread complaining that I'm being unreasonable.

  There are two sides to every story. You don't have to buy the coin, whether fairly priced or not. But you are wasting my time with repeated low ball offers.

  You can save yourself some aggravation by setting up 'automatically decline amount' under the best offer section in the auction. You won't even see those low ball offers when they are made.

  I know. The only reason my auto decline is set so low is because sometimes someone will come and offer on 10 or more coins and then I will cut them a deal on the one, even if I'm losing money.

  Today's "favorite" customer is another one of you cheap MFers who offered on a complete set of Unc Ike $s - 32 coins including the silvers. Currently being auctioned with a low opening bid of $69 - barely face + silver. One of you - fess up! - offered me the King's ransom of $65 to end the auction early...even though I was NOT taking offers at all.

  I understand this statement. I also have lower auto decline for when one person makes multiple offers.

  Constantly getting lowball offers can be annoying, what is worse is when you accept a bad offer and they cannot bother to leave feedback. To me that is reprehensible. I have had at least 5 buyers whittle down the price for large groups or higher priced items, only to find they did not have the basic courtesy to leave feedback.

  I do not block them, but I do not accept additional crap offers from them ever again either.

  Feedback is a real sore point with me. If I sell something I ship it the next business day and I leave the buyer positive feedback. Fifty per cent of the time the buyers do not leave feedback. This also happens with buyers that have thousands of their own feedback. Very annoying.

  On the only 'Best Offer' deal I tried the guy wanted $235.00 for the coin. I offered $200.00 and the 'person' came back with $235.00! Blocked that seller most quickly.

  Sometimes I just want to raise all the prices to see who offers me the original.

  I had one guy offer on a canada proof set I had had for months, so I took it. He now negotiates, or tries, the price of EVERYTHING.

  I have made offers on items on ebay... some declined, but even more accepted. I try to be reasonable when I consider the price too high....some sellers just do not want to negotiate though... Cheers, RickO
