Fishing........

1) Fishing expedition...why cut yourself short? (I don't use that one)
2) No idea what it is really worth and don't want to offend someone (I did this on some 2007 clad proofs...I have NO idea what would be an acceptable price for them...I just wanted the dollars)
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 don't know, maybe for the same reasons one would trash a new mint sellout as junk only to back peddle on that statement when they skyrocket.
sound familiar?

That's the basic reason why I don't make offers on those "Make an offer" listings. The only difference is I have no idea what the person offering it thinks its worth and I don't want to offend them. But that's just me.
Most times I make offer the seller ends up calling me some 4/5/6/7 letter word, what's up with that??

I'm the same way when I am looking to buy. If no price, I move on.
The only reason, for myself a couple weeks ago, when I placed the cut out proofs for sale, was because I had other items I was selling, with prices, and figured someone may need these and might want them tossed in cheap (or free depending what they bought).
As it was, they didn't sell and I am ok with that. Sold a priced item or two though

You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

I think taking offers via PM is kind of chessey. Price it or don't list it. What's even worse is the people running ads on the BST forum wanting to buy one item in quanity with "PM me with your sell price".
Oh and also to not offend a guy I know who sells many similar coins for higher prices than I would ask.

I'd make a fair offer. So what's the problem. If someone doesn't know what their item is worth and don't want to get fleeced, I'll give them a ball park number. If they are fishing, maybe no one else shows interest and I get it at a fair price.
