You can set a level to automatically refuse low bids on your listing page, of course.

One thing I noticed is that if someone makes a low offer and then you "haggle" with counteroffers and it doesn't come to a sale then views and sales generally seem to decline, I think it factors it into the Cassini search engine or its just my suspicion.

I don't sell on ebay, mostly because I don't sell my coins once I buy them. I have however sold quite a few coins on craigslist for friends and relatives. Everytime you put a coin up, in come the lowball offers. People offering spot for collector silver. 10% of value on collector coins.

If you are going to be a seller, you better develop a thick skin. Think of the effort vs reward for these guys. It costs them nothing in time or effort to "give it a shot" and the reward is, at some point they are going to get someone to bite, be it out of ignorance, time constraints or lack of any other interest. They take ten minutes to throw out a couple of lowball offers and spot offers for specialized or graded bullion. You get ignored or twenty rejections, but just once you a MS70 Panda for spot or a CC Morgan for the price of a P.

These people don't really think you are going to sell it to them, but to them, there is only upside to making offers.

I would have told the person you would accept the offer of $ 6.01 but, shipping would be $ 45.99.

I had 2 dollar gold leaf bills in a leather display case. Some are sequential. They usually go for 20 but I'd be happy to accept 14-15. Had a guy offer a dollar per unit. Told him the two dollar bill was worth two dollars face. Then he offered 2 dollars. And told me it wasn't worth more than two dollars. I didn't want to rouse him becuase I was afraid he would cyber stalk my ebay listings

When I get a ridiculously low offer say $5 on a coin I am selling for a $100, I usually counter offer with a ridiculously low counter offer, like $99.99 or something like that. :-)

Yeah, that's ridiculous. That's why I set my "automatic decline" threshold on the listing page.


Me too Ed, me too.
