"What's Your Best Price?"

Ask what they are willing to offer. I would not ignore their email. I've found it's best to put in a fair and firm price to begin.

Here's just a few suggestions:

"Whad'ya got?"

...or...

"My best price is $6.49, but then again I really admire $ 199.95 as well. I do like the numbers with a few commas too. What's yours?"

...or...

"My best price is going to be the one offer I accept. Since I haven't heard it yet, I don't know. Get back to me once I've sold it and I'll let you know."

I don't think they are "moronic" to ask what your bottom dollar price is...you must have given it some thought when you listed your item...correct? The "OBO" listing is optional to you...it gives the buyer the impression that "you will take less", he/she simply wants to know what it will take $$$ to close a deal "NOW"...quick and simple.

Auction is for those that like to dicker...I never go there.

On the other hand, "OBO" does imply "or best offer", ie...you expect them to make an offer so I understand your point....to a point :D

It really tics me off when people do that. People who ask this question lose all credibility in my eyes. It's asking the seller to negotiate against themselves. If someone wants to negotiate the price they should make an offer to purchase. As a seller, I've already listed a price that I would sell it for. At the very least a buyer should have something on the table before asking me to lower my price again.
