I have a set of like new Library of Coins albums listed and they are gems. I may have priced them a little on the high side, but I've seen scrappy ones go for nearly as much. I just got an offer for a 3 piece set that had free shipping. The offer? Six dollars! Really? Shipping alone is double that. Some people. Report this Post to the Staff

OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 02/04/2015 5:11 pm Yes, I need to do that. BTW, am I way high on the price for these? Report this Post to the Staff

Like a link to the sale, or a description of what your selling and the price. Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7379 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 12:45 am When I get low offers like that, I just say, "Nice try, but no thank you." I must confess I'm guilty of going on a fishing expedition now and then. I don't take it personally when I get a lowball offer. Report this Post to the Staff

OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 12:26 pm I'm thinking I may have been a bit overenthusiastic with the pricing. I'm going to let it ride a bit and then drop them down. I'll keep them as fixed price. I've found that auctions are terrible for these types of items. If it's up during a week where only one person is interested, it ends up selling at the start price. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 02/05/2015 2:30 pm I just remembered that I made a really low offer on something. It was the first time I was making an offer and I wasn't exactly certain how the whole thing worked so I just made sure that it was really low in case I did have to pay up on the item. I never heard from the seller and the seller accepted another offer and that was that. Report this Post to the Staff
