I hate getting questions like “what’s your lowest price” cause 99% of the time they’re lowballers who aren’t going to pay near market. It’s an immediate member block for me cause they aren’t my kind of buyer anyway.
I don’t currently, but I’ve worked in retail before. Sadly this is not just limited to eBay. Some of the things I’ve heard:
“Can you let me buy that without paying sales tax”
“I’ll give you a used PS4 and some used AirPods for the computer you’re selling.” This was significantly under that asking value of the computer, and they proceeded to get mad when I said I’d need cash.
“$800 is my lowest dollar.” “I’ll give you $500 CASH right now” “I’m sorry sir but $800 is my lowest dollar” “I’ll leave!!!” “If that’s how you feel sir, then I can’t stop you, but $800 issue best I can do.” - at a corporately held jewelry store.
I understand negotiating and haggling, but some people really take it too far.
Dam @TCAGaming, straightup asked if your trying to scam people. Not for nothing but I think a seller who has thousands of positive feedback would not try to scam people. Not sure why you would be interested in making a sale if your being pretty rude to the seller from the get-go you ain’t gonna get far like that. As I mentioned earlier on this thread w.e the seller puts their item as its up to them and not the buyer but if you wanna work out something there’s a more mature way to approach it not automatically assume if their trying to scam people. I would definitely have more trust/confidence with a buyer with thousands of positive feedback and questionable with one with 0 feedback. Again that’s my take on it.
On Facebook a while back, some guy told me that the card was for his personal collection, and would have a good home to stay.
So he said, “cmon Bubba, can you lower the price for me?”
And I have never heard that term before, and thought who is this guy calling me a “bub”. Also, seriously, he should get a discount because he will “take good care of it”? I bumped up the price $10 for this nonsense, and he actually paid it lol
