"What's Your Best Price?"


Maybe it's just coincidence, but I have experienced an increasing number of buyers lately whose only question is "what's your best price?" in response to an "OBO" listing. Should such moronic inquiries simply be ignored -- or is there an appropriate/productive response?

No, not directed at any one post. I think we have many different types of sellers and buyers here at A-gon.

So this coin has more than two sides, And I understand that because I have been a seller and a buyer. My obo listings are always higher than my bottom dollar, and for a reason (some people will pay more without asking any questions). That said....If I get an email asking me what my bottom dollar price is?....I send them the answer, and it doesn't bother me at all. (I already know what I'll take when I list?).

Selling,

I sell to the first person that meets that $$$ figure (and you didn't meet it, until you send the cash.....I like paypal, and don't charge a fee), and it's that simple.

Buying,

As soon as we know the $$$ figure (bottom dollar)....I send you the money paypal direct transfer (very fast).

I don't like auctions, and I won't wait around long...... I have a need for speed (-:

This all works for me, although I'm sure many buyers and sellers like to dicker over price, and thats fine for them.

Jmcmorgan,
You're right, this thread was initiated in 2006. HA! I can't speak for the other posters but I, being a moron, spent the last 4 years gathering my thoughts. Uh-oh, gotta go, I'm 4 years late for work! Just one more thought: I once asked a hooker "what's your best price?" She said "for $100 I'll do anything you'd like". I told her "OK, deal. I'd like you to paint my house". Sorry about the above, too much time on my hands lately.
Has no one here on AgoN heard of, or used, PayPal's personal money transfer function? No fee involved! You don't get Buyer Protection on private sales anyway -- why pay for it?
