Devilsguy Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Still gotta beat my record. I was offered $6 once on a jersey I had listed for $250 BIN. By my calculations that's over 97% off the list price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsguy Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Believe it or not, it was a fully customized Caps 2.0 done up by EPS as Ovechkin. I rejected it and got a counter offer of $12. I rejected that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AParrotLooksAt40 Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 I always wonder if these people are serious or just desperately trying to participate in a market they are drastically out priced by. As in maybe just making a ridiculous bid still feels good to them. otherwise, and this is what I assume, they're just tire kickers with an abundance of time and nothing valuable to spend it on.

mfitz804 Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Listen, there’s lowball and then there’s lowball. Twice I have had a $50 offer accepted on a jersey listed for $200. Each was overpriced, probably worth $100-150. But they sat unsold for a long time so I took a shot. But, big difference between a $50 offer on a $100 jersey and Devilsguy’s $250/$6/$12 situation.

Devilsguy Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Yeah I mean at $6 and $12 on a $250 BIN price, the buyer is either an idiot or a wise-Arse. Neither I want to deal with. Even if the offer was $75, which is 70% below my asking price, I would have at least taken it seriously and countered to see if a deal could be made.

Bears1000 Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) There's also a chance it could be a little kid who only has $12 saved up. Edited August 13, 2018 by Gewargis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will counter a really low lowball a penny or two off, just so it shows I countered to other buyers. Gotta drum up business! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta drum up business! I've done this a couple of times just to be spiteful as a buyer. The next time a seller refuses to budge on a fair price, I'll bump up an offer by a penny or two in return.

jsh139 Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 I don’t even allow best offers anymore. Too much of a PITA. I have the time. I’ll wait to get my asking price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True. And now that you can reply with an offer it’s pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYIJM29 Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 I dont understand the sellers who do OBO but will only take off $25. At that point, why even bother (i.e. only take $775 on a jersey they have listed for $800) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsGoHomeBaby Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Starting to really get annoyed by one of the so called "veterans" of the hobby. With his own grab bag featuring no name minor league players and now a defunct UHL teams s***ty practice jerseys with no fight strap and sublimated logo for 60 bucks. Come on, it's a freaking beer league jersey. I can go pick up a brand new NHL practice with sewn everything and a fight strap for 60.
