Just curious if this ever happens to you when you are trying to buy an item, as this happened to me 2 times in 2013.
Ok, let's say you want to buy an item and make a reasonable fair market offer for it. The seller then says no and states something like "I can't take that price, this guy will have 17 sacks this year" or "I think I am going to hold on to it, because he is going to hit 40 homeruns this season."
I don't like when sellers do that, because really there is not accountability for making that statement. Yes, a seller can do what they want. I don't like the hearsay talk when a claim is made about a traceable future production and the production is not met. Just say that you don't want to sell it at that price, rather than throw smoke and mirrors fake excuses.
It implies that my offer of $500 for an item which the seller wants $1000 for is valid for those expectations to be met. What if the expectations are not met and that item is STILL for sale? No accountability.
This happened for 2 jerseys this year.
1) On a GU Gerald McCoy Buccaneers jersey, I offered $500, seller wanted $800 and said "Gerald will lead Tampa to the playoffs this year (2013 season) and have 14 sacks." Both things did not happen, so I go back to the seller and requited him from August and then says he just can't sell it for that amount with no reasoning or acknowledgement of his previous statement.
2) Johnny Damon Rays jersey - Seller said Damon would surpass 3,000 hits in 2013, instead he retired. This seller did somewhat lower his price though.
