Best Ebay Deal Of The Day?

Well I suppose I wont express how I feel about things like this anymore.

I just can't stand seeing people try to take advantage of others who may not know better.... my .02 cents

My vent is done.

Well colu I for one appreciate the heads up. From the way the seller responded to your concerns tells me to avoid this seller. Most reputable sellers IMO would have responded more professionally.

Well Smoker, you need to not sell coins then. If you are selling something that by all accords is a luxury item, not a necessity, and used at that, you have to expect folks to tell you your prices are too high from time to time. It is one way people open up dialog for negotiating a better price. Heck even Walmart offers price matching if their price is higher than other places. As a seller, the buyer has ultimate control. That is unless you are willing to sit on over priced items. If it offends you so much to be told your prices are too high there is a very simple solution...LOWER YOUR PRICES!

Comparing a best price policy of a large corporation to telling me my prices are too high is totally apples and oranges. Especially when I am being told that simply in a drive by fashion, NOT because the person is actually interested in my item and negotiating. There is a HUGE difference there. I have absolutely no problem at all with a reasonable offer: Hey, you are asking 650 for that 1859O Seated Liberty, I will give you 520... Well Mr h82w8, I appreciate the offer but I wont go under 620.... See, THAT is negotiation and perfectly fine. Now for what the OP did: You are selling your 1859O Seated Liberty for way too much money and you will never sell it that way. Well Mr Colu, you can shove it...you get the idea.

Not sure how someone can not see the difference there. Trying to buy something and dealing on the price and being the price police are completely different. The simple solution is for folks like the OP to mind their own business if they arent going to be buying. And if your opening line to negotiations is your prices are too high, then you need to work on your bartering skills.

I think some ebay sellers put ridiculous prices on items and figure if they keep relisting, eventually the item will sell. Must be that they don't pay a lot for the items because it would be much better to not tie up that much money on inventory.

I also share the frustration of other members about lousy pictures. They still make staple pullers, don't they? Coins never photograph well in flips.

One of the problems that plauge coin collectors.
The dealers or sellers that care only about how much profit they can screw a guy out of.
I do the dame thing if something is way over priced I send the seller an e-mail and tell if they want to sell there coins
they should price them closer to what they are worth.
I have told many sellers this and had quite a few thank me and lower the price.
The hobby needs more people like you to speak up. Many new to the hobby get burnt a couple times and just walk away from this great hobby. All thanks to a part time coin flipper trying to get way over book for there coins.
You did good IMHO Kepp up the good work.

There are lots of sellers selling way over priced items. It happens all of the time. Best to avoid them.



And isn't it considered cheating folks, if you sell things that are way over priced?
