dsl135 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 You guys are aware that you can set your auctions to auto decline any offer that is below an amount you set. Yea, absolutely aware. But people then message you complaining about their offer being rejected. Lots of people who think they should just be given a deal for no reason whatsoever.

OR68 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Yes and they talk to you in a form like "I'll take it from you for $25 right now" like there doing you a favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh God I love when people do that! Its hilarious! Or when people act like eBay is different than any other online store, like its just automatically supposed to be deals. Like when someone tells me "Oh, you're charging retail for this jersey or that jersey." Um, duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akteon Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Even if you don't have a "best offer" option, you'll still get lowball offers. I just respond nicely that no, I'm not going to lower my price by 60% just because you asked. Then I block them as bidders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPQuinn Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I've never used the feature as a seller, only a buyer. Are sellers allowed to counteroffer? Or is it just accept/reject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyjerseyssuck Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I've always wondered this. What exactly is the point in bidding prior to the end of the auction? Aren't you theoretically costing yourself money when you get in a bidding battle that far in advance? eBay should institute an option for sellers where a bid in the last minute adds 1 minute to the auction, and cap it off at 5 extra minutes. eBay makes their share off what ever auctions go for, so they'd increase their revenue dramtically by doing that. The problem with snipers if you are a seller, is that you might have three or four people sniping on a hot item. Not every sniper actually puts in their highest possible bid, because they don't see the auction going up. IE auction is at 90 dollars Person 1 bids: 100 Person 2 bids: 110 Person 3 bids: 120 So the auction ends at 111 or what ever. Where as, if there was a minute added, the two people who were out bid might get caught up in the mania of bidding and begin to rationalize bidding higher. This would get the auction up about 10-50 percent higher depending on how hot the item is. Multiply that by thousands of items, and eBay would make a killing. If you want to avoid snipers, add a buy it now price to the item, even if it is dramatically higher than what you expect to get. People will bid as a tactic in order to eliminate the Buy It Now. This is because, the Buy It Now disappears after the first bid. This way, if you have the starting bid as slightly less than you'd want for the item, and the Buy It Now as slightly more, somebody is bound to bid early in hopes of getting it for less and not losing it to a Buy It Now shopper. I don't really mind lowballers, it's annoying, but it's part of dealing with the benefits of accepting offers. What I do dislike, is people who ask "WHAT IS YOUR LOWEST PRICE". It's insulting to my intelligence. The person is asking you to bid against yourself. It takes a lot for me to ignore somebody when I'm trying to sell an item, but at this point, if that is your message, I won't even bother replying. Another thing I really hate, is people telling me they can only afford to spend so much because of x reason, or are on a tight budget so my price is too high.....a hockey jersey isn't a loaf of bread in the middle of your village's biggest farming drought. It's a frivolous collectors item. Your budget doesn't dictate the market for that item. I'm as empathetic as the next guy when it comes to actual issues, but I'm not going to give you a 200 dollar jersey for 100 bucks because that's all you can afford. If that's your best offer because it's your best offer, that's alright, but don't try and play games. If you can only afford to low ball people due to a bad financial situation, maybe buying sports memorabilia isn't the best use of your priorities. I'm sure the Sens store will sell me that Edge 2.0 Heritage jersey I've been wanting for 150 despite the fact that it retails at 350 because that's all I can afford.....

Buyers get to make a total of 3 offers. It can go: Buyer offer Seller counteroffer Buyer counteroffer Seller counteroffer Buyer counteroffer Seller counteroffer (then accept/reject) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would make like half of what I bid on become dramatically more expensive, causing me to either be outbid and/or not be able to afford all of what I want.

HawksFanInDC Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 I got it. They wore ultrafil in 85-86 and the 86-87 regular season. Anyone know if Gartner wore the A during the regular season in 86-87? There was an 85-86 on gamewornauctions without the A. Then there is a pic of him in the 87 playoffs on a SI cover with the A but that postseason they wore a special air knit set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer to your question is to not put a player who played for the Rags on that jersey. Earliest picture of him wearing the A was from an 87-88 card, though it's probably the same picture as the SI cover. Admittedly my knowledge of the Caps jersey situation back when they were still a professional hockey team is fuzzy at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
