eBay Buyers Out There: This is NOT how to send a question about a coin.

poorguy · July 6, 2006 5:18AM

I just got this in my messages folder. This is NOT how to send a seller a question about a coin. IMHO.

hi
i offered you $650 for the coin. you either want the $650 or not. you put it out there for everone to see, so at the last second someone will bid $603 and get the coin. if thats what you would do to me; i dont want to do business with you. my offer was more than fair for this coin. check the price guides all of them, and you see i offered more than it is listed for anywhere. either accept my offer in 24 hours or i withdraw my offer. i am not trying to be a jagoff. think about what i said.

thanks and i hope we have a deal:

xxxxx - name withheld.

Tell him sorry but you sold it to someone for $500

ChuckC · July 6, 2006 5:20AM

What a jagoff.

Dave99B · July 6, 2006 5:22AM

At least he didn't call you a jerk off loser. That was nice.

Dave

stman · July 6, 2006 5:23AM

So, do you accept my offer, or not?

CIVITAS · July 6, 2006 5:23AM

Sounds like someone with some gross misconceptions about how eBay works.

kranky · July 6, 2006 5:25AM

Gee, and I always thought "jagoff" was a Pittsburgh word. Where is the guy from?

poorguy · July 6, 2006 5:26AM

<< Gee, and I always thought "jagoff" was a Pittsburgh word. Where is the guy from? >>

I dunno. I only have his eBay ID and first name.

Cladiator · July 6, 2006 5:27AM

I'll give ya $651 for it, what ever "it" is

Russ · July 6, 2006 5:27AM

Where's the rest of the correspondence?

Search his eBay ID and see if he's ever sold anything. If he has look for the seller location in the auction.

I'm done with best offer listings... Unless they are on 10 cent listing day.... I have gotten the most ridiculous offers one can imagine.

Dave99B · July 6, 2006 5:30AM

I'm frigg'in dying to hear your response. Oh, and remember, the customer is always right.

Dave

Russ, NCNE >>

He/she just sent me an offer last night. This is the first question he/she sent me and I've never had any coorespondence with this person ever.

Russ · July 6, 2006 5:33AM

<< He/she just sent me an offer last night. This is the first question he/she sent me and I've never had any coorespondence with this person ever. >>

In that case, he/she is a dick.

BRAHahahaha

greghansen · July 6, 2006 5:56AM

i am not trying to be a jagoff.

I don't think he has to try. It appears to be quite natural.

relayer · July 6, 2006 6:04AM

Too bad they don't have a "Decline Offer and Block Bidder" combination button

Conder101 · July 6, 2006 6:33AM

<< I'm done with best offer listings... Unless they are on 10 cent listing day.... I have gotten the most ridiculous offers one can imagine. >>

Post them here we can use some laughs.

I think I'd send back that with his attitude I don't want to do business with him. And then block him so he can't be the guy to step in at the last second with a snipe bid to try and win it for less than his offer. (in case it doesn't get that high.)

BlindedByEgo · July 6, 2006 6:34AM

Poor communication skills to be sure. How far off on the BIN price was he?

ABC123 · July 6, 2006 6:42AM

What don't you understand ? Did you respond ? Not my style, but he did make his point !!

jayboxx · July 6, 2006 6:44AM

Well, are you taking my offer or not? Times a tickin.

airplanenut · July 6, 2006 6:47AM

At least you could show us the coin in question...

Then again, for something in your inventory, I'd be happy to get anything above listed values

Trinketts · July 6, 2006 6:52AM

I also sell Silver and Bronze age comics and had an offer on a comic that was listed at $105... and the offer was $60.... This comic routinely hammers at $90-110 in the graded condition it is in the CGC holder for... Amazing

UncleWiggly · July 6, 2006 6:55AM

<< Gee, and I always thought "jagoff" was a Pittsburgh word. Where is the guy from? >>

It is

Myqqy · July 6, 2006 7:06AM

This guy is a smooth operator....

Coindexter · July 6, 2006 7:16AM

Oh, believe me, "jagoff" is commonly used outside of Pittsburgh - though it is incredibly popular there. I heard a lot of it when I lived in New York as well.

By the way, this guy needs to be blocked, IMHO.

poorguy · July 6, 2006 7:16AM

<< What don't you understand ? Did you respond ? Not my style, but he did make his point !! >>

Oh, I understood. I also got the notion that this isn't the type of person that I would prefer doing business with.

DNADave · July 6, 2006 7:17AM

This person will neg you even if you sold it at the offered price. They will probably neg you if they win the auction for a lower price. Some people just are not reasonable. I'd block the person.

jayboxx · July 6, 2006 7:18AM

Just reply: Not

jayboxx · July 6, 2006 7:21AM

BTW, when did you guys start installing neon lights in your coins?

WorldTypeSet · July 6, 2006 7:25AM

Joozian 2: Oh! Oh, that's it baby! You're getting my jagon hard!

Joozian 1: Wohh. Yeah, let's party!

Joozian 2: Yeah, suck my jagon!

Joozian 1: Yeah! Now you suck on my jagon! Oh yeah!! Stick your finger in my thrusher! Oh yeah, suck it. Suck that jagon!

Stan: Dude, I have no idea what we're seeing right now, but I have a feeling it's really, really wrong.

xbob · July 6, 2006 7:48AM

Simple reply.. "fugoff jagoff!"

edit to add: dammit PBRat, and I thought my reply was "wrong".

Russ · July 6, 2006 7:54AM

Cherwood likes to use that word. Probably her that eMailed.

The thread reminded me of South Park.

I don't sell much, but a friend of mine does and he tells me the same thing. His latest offer which was about 2 weeks ago was for a $200 item that some idiot offered him $25! LOL! He says he gets many lowball offers like that, although usually it's not as low as the $25.

AH collectibles has me blocked because I made an offer on a coin they had.

Ken---They did you a favor.

holadude · July 6, 2006 10:45PM

I've lowball offered before. Not horribly low, but low enough to be declined. I just offered someone $600 for a MS buffalo. I figure they had 9 left out of the 10 they started with, and they probably got them for $5??, but they turned me down as expected. I hope someday to get accepted by someone with a big heart. It hasn't happened yet though.

BBN · July 6, 2006 10:48PM

I once had a guy that won one of my auctions that ended around $100. The idiot emailed me the next day saying he couldn't afford the auction price and offered $50. I refused and said I'd wait the given 10 days for payment and would offer to the next highest bidder if payment wasn't received. I got his payment through the mail about 5-6 days later.

You should just tell him to fugoff

can i say that here?
