[QUOTE="jared007, post: 471145, member: 6513"] I think it has become a bit aggressive cause the values and amounts of money involved has shot up from 4/5 years ago. Some people may have paid over the odds recently and are frustrated that they are looking at taking a loss when they sell (if they can even sell), or frustrated they aren't going to get the short term profit they expected. You will probably have the odd bad encounter, the best to hope for is that these are in the minority. And don't be shy of putting those "low ball" offers in. A couple of years ago there was a bug on eBay that allowed you to learn the *accepted price* of a listing (if you knew how to invoke it). I definitely saw people accepting 50% off their listing price so you just never know. Your best weapon is to be in the know about current pricing so you know when to snap something up, when to move on, and whether it's a common/rare thing that is likely to come up again soon. The hunt is sometimes so much more than the kill. [/QUOTE]
