I had a situation with a potential buyer yesterday and the day before where he kept trying to lowball me and ask me to sell him discounted items. Long story short is we agreed to a price of $60+ shipping on a group of 9 solid date pre-1950 dated Jefferson nickel rolls that I had listed for a total of $77.91+ shipping...

Since I had to get ready for work, I told him I'd create a special order for him after I got home from work yesterday evening...

So I work and then get home and create the order as agreed upon... within minutes, he's sent me a message requesting I "add on" a roll of 1942-Ds for $6 - a coin I don't have listed and one that I would sell for like $30 IF I had it... he sent me a separate message also requesting I offer the 9 rolls for $45... then he went and made a $50 offer on the group of coins...

About 30 minutes later he sent me a separate message saying he would pay the $60 agreed upon, but never clicked on "buy" so that he could get sent an invoice and pay... I got no response from him overnight or during the day today, so I finally just ended up just canceling the special order and re-listing the 9 rolls at their original prices. I blocked him just a little while ago tonight. If you guys want the user name (and any pictures of our convo) I'll be more than happy to post and provide details. Sadly, this is a user who somehow has managed to maintain 100% positive feedback.

Good thing you blocked that buyer. That buyer was trying to screw you over big time.

Yeah, he was! It's like he thought I was stupid or something.
