Re: Pet Peeve from otential buyers on Ebay. Your thoughts?
A bunch of sellers have a delusional idea what they "think" their items are worth. Those are the items you see re-listed OVER AND OVER AND OVER. I hate making offers because I never want to insult anyone. Also, some sellers ask for way more then its worth because maybe somebody will actually buy it. I guess you never know.

Re: Pet Peeve from Potential buyers on Ebay. Your thoughts?
I've made a few Best Offer bids lately, but nothing really outrageously lowball, I don't think.
There's a bat on eBay that I've been watching for awhile - it's been relisted numerous times, and the seller is a well-known online catalog seller, as well. He's asking $60, and I think I offered $48, 'cause I happen to think 60 is a little steep for this particular bat, and he politely declined my offer. Okay, no feelings hurt on either end.
A local seller began disposing of some nice big signs that they took out of Chase Field when the team changed its colors a few years back, and I bought one, and the seller even let me pick it up so I wouldn't have to pay for shipping and he wouldn't have to hassle with wrapping and mailing it. He's still got a few signs on eBay, and I thought I might pick up another one for my sister; it's been relisted probably dozens of times, at this point, so I figured he might go $75, even though he's asking $90. What I got back was a curt, "Our items are priced according to condition", or something like that. Not such a positive vibe from that guy.

You know what really GRINDS MY GREARS?
When i make a fair offer to a seller and they reply "no" with no counter or communication, i clearly want the item but not at the price listed, common sense would think they would at least counter?

Perhaps they don't consider it a fair offer. How do they know you clearly want the item?

Re: Pet Peeve from Potential buyers on Ebay. Your thoughts?
I did once let a Seller know that his quoted shipping rate was just a tad bit out of line.
He was selling a $20-25 bat, and his listing stated that the shipping would be something like $80. After checking to make sure that the item location wasn't the Moon, I sent him a polite message pointing out his error, and he thanked me, said it was some kind of screwup with the postage calculator, and dropped it to 15.
