OT: Ridiculous eBay offers

Re: OT: Ridiculous eBay offers

Some people do it just to be a smart aleck. I had a friend tell me that he was going to offer $30 for the game used Roberto Clemente jersey that was listed by Mears on ebay a few weeks ago for about an hour. While this may have been amusing to him, I'm sure it irritated the seller to no end (if he actually went through with it).

I got one of these offers this morning. It was like 95% less then my asking price. My asking price is on the higher side, but I don't expect it to sell at it.

Re: OT: Ridiculous eBay offers

the really annoying ones are not those who submit lowball offers, but those who send you a message, "hello I am from China nice jersey perhaps we can do a trade" and they offer a bench player or issued item.

Will e-Bay's system let you counteroffer with an amount higher than the original BIN price?

Re: OT: Ridiculous eBay offers

Someone offered me $200 shipped for a pair of game issued Lebron all star shoes that rarely sold uner $1,000 on ebay at the time. Its not even worth responding to these people because you know they arent going to come close matching what you want. More often than not though, i am tempted to reply with a vulgar rant.

Re: OT: Ridiculous eBay offers

I think that my prices on Ebay are fair, but I still get offers 75% or more off my price. I either don't even respond or I'll reply "No thanks." I won't even counter offer those low offers.

And when I use the Best Offer option, I'll set it up so those low ballers are automatically rejected.

Last night, I listed a sweet Kirby Puckett game-used bat on eBay, signed by the late HOFer. In my e-mail this morning, I had a message asking "Would you accept $200?" I'm sure many of you have had this happen, so I wanted to throw this out there for fun. What are some of the most ridiculous (yet apparently serious) offers you've received for items you listed on eBay?
