Re: What would you do with this eBay buyer? (Update on 5/30)
I sell about 2000 lots on ebay a year, albeit less than 1% are coins. All of mine have a best offer feature, and maybe 40% sell using the best offer. One thing I do, is when a person makes an offer, I go check the feedback they have left for others. When I see reds and neutrals, I figure they are just not a happy person,… -
What would you do with this eBay buyer? (Update on 5/30)
What would you do in this eBay scenario? The item was listed at 150. The person offered 130, then declined the 130, and is now asking for 115. Update as of 5.30.26...I have not said anything since this thread was made and today see a new message offering 125. a) block the person on eBay b) ignore them (no more replies) but… -

Wait long enough and he'll pay full price. This is what I mean about hagglers. Couple weeks ago, someone offered me $80 for a $99 coin. I said, "no thank you" and he paid full price. And at $99 it was (intentionally) the cheapest one on ebay. They just have to negotiate. Raise the price to $200. Someone will offer $160. -

Update as of 5.30.26...I have not said anything since this thread was made and today see a new message offering 125. Maybe if I continue ignoring, there will be an offer of 135 :D -

Oh, maybe for fun, and because I'm a math nerd. "Well, I was definitely considering it at $130. but since you revised your offer by 13% lower I got to thinking ... maybe I should counter by accepting your original offer plus 13%. Please let me know if the $146.9 is acceptable. If not, good luck and have a great day!" -

He sent an offer of $130 and you accepted. It wasn't until the next day that he declined and made a lower offer. My guess is he checked recent sales and realized that he offered too much. -

It really depends on your cost and how you feel about your coin. This happened to me before. I took his second offer and sold for $115. People changed mind all the time, both buyers and sellers. It is not a big deal, as long as before he buys. If you don't want to sell, then just tell him no, and move on. -

Just counter back at $130. My guess is that they will accept and the remainder of the transaction will be completely normal. -

Send him an offer of $135. -

Tell him that you accept his offer of $115, but revised offers incur an additional processing charge of $15.
