Interesting/strange eBay situation.
I saw a card with a $350 BIN/BO and made an offer of $200. The seller countered with $325. I responded with around $250, and he replied that he would do $300 off of eBay. After some discussions with people I recently made the decision not to move eBay deals off of eBay (feeling that eBay provides a service and therefore using their site without them getting paid was something I was not comfortable with) so I sent a message saying I was not interested in going off eBay, but if he countered with $300 on eBay I would take it, but basically I understood if he wanted to get more for it.
I come to my computer this evening and see that he countered with $290. I notice a message in my inbox where he says, "counter with $300 and I'll accept it." Seemed like a pretty strange scenario, but the question was: I had agreed in writing to a price tag of $300. Was there any reason to counter with $300 to stand by the price I had agreed on, or just take the card at $290?
I'll add what I actually did in a bit, now curious to hear people's thoughts. Thanks.
