I made the seller a fair offer based on what they have been selling for and he counters with an offer of $24.99.

Um, what's the point?

Maybe if he counters with $24.99 you'll bite? He must work in retail, or did at one point to offer something like that.

Move on. I can't stand when some has an opening bid of 12.99 say and
a bin of 12.99. you could always so you would pay more, but what is the point too.
Maybe I should summit a best offer of what you did and see if he understands what they go for.

heck maybe we all should from on here. LOL:

Well, 2 of the 3 that sold in the last 2 weeks went for $26+ so his price is pretty fair already...one went for $16, but I've tracked several of them, and $25-$30 is what they've been going for, and a couple went for over $30.

Re: Please help me understand this.......

cant believe that bin didnt hit. looks like a awesome deal. they were selling for over $30

as for the counter, the seller is pretty much looking for the bin price, in which he should not offer best offer option....

I tried to make a counter-offer for more than the BIN before to a clown. Suffice to say, ebay doesn't let you do that.

I then countered with a penny off of the BIN and blocked the bidder.

Thats what I have been doing.Granted once in awhile I forget to reprice things after the initial release but other than that my pricing is pretty fair.What many buyers don't realize that I don't need to unload anything for less than what I am asking.The items that need to be unloaded wuick are priced accordingly.

Last night I was able to win one of these cards for $18.50.
This is in the ballpark of the "fair" offer that I made. Was I a little low? Yes, but I fully expected to have some dialogue with the seller to meet in the middle.
Oh well, it pays to be patient.

It is possible that the seller included the Best Offer feature by mistake and was unable to remove it...or didn't know how to remove it....then again, maybe he took your offer as a waste of his time.
