jaylay Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Just noticed an Elves set 41179 at Target with two different seal codes. One 41R6 and at the opposite flap 35R6. Anyone seen this before? Also this batch here in front of me looks like two seals on top of each other? 50% off. Pass on them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in LA, it is not a football town...Funny thing is the only NFL game I've ever been to was a Raiders game in 87ish...back when they were in LA. I give it 5 years before one, if not both the teams bail. And don't even get me started on public $$$ going to build stadiums...total bulls...

Phil B Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) A complaint about myself: Why is it that when I send in a "Best Offer" on EBay I get nervous when the seller hasn't responded yet after 3hrs? What experience made me into this immediate gratification person that can't wait a day or so? I blame our email culture of course - back when I started working (late 90-ies) you had 24-48hrs to respond to messages. When I left corporate America the expectation had gone up to almost text-messaging speed - 1-2hrs turnaround. I guess that has conditioned my brain .......

I get nervous too but not because of the instant gratification. It's because I'm always worried someone else will just barely beat my offer, or if it's already a decent price worried someone will Buy it Now first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just say yes or no. I hate when I get the "Offer Expired" notification, both on offers I place and counteroffers I send. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assume the person wants to meet 1/2 way between their offer and my price. If they bid so low that I wouldn't even consider that number, the person isn't serious about what I consider a reasonable price and just wants to see how desperate I am. At that point, negotiating is a waste of my time and I'll just decline. 56 minutes ago, Darth_Raichu said: I actually hate it even more when seller sends counteroffer that is only 1 cent less than their original BIN price.

What's a reasonable offer to you? Item is listed for $60, I went in with $40 to see if we could meet close to $50 (is LEGO item, seller sells more LEGO, so if (s)he is lurking here and thinks I might be their buyer feel free to PM me to work something out outside of mr. E. Bay). I don't think asking for 33% off is unreasonable as a starting bid on an item that has "Best Offer". Seller just declined without explanation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was younger and had more time, I would troll the seller back by countering with 50% less than my original offer and go down from there Seriously, it takes less time to hit the decline button than to click counteroffer and then type 99.99 However, nowadays there are superabundant sellers on eBay that I can afford to block the trolls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have two I wanted to QF, but they have 50+ and a repricer. Just let me sell my two and be done with this!!! And if one of you is Toy Mine, please just turn off your Ghost repricer for a couple days. It will be better for both of us to stop dropping the price 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting off of offers (say that five times fast), but I enjoy leaving original price stickers on the box for the inevitable messages from angry people, "How could you sell this for more than the price sticker?! I can't believe you would do that! You should take off the price sticker before trying to sell it for twice as much!!" Lol. Welcome to capitalism, noobs.
