Don't You Love It When...

You put in a best offer on eBay, and it gets declined. So you put in a bid, and it ends up going for far less by auction

I bet the seller is pissed! Serves him right for being greedy, I knew my offer was very fair.

I’ve had this a few times recently whilst on my quest for a B&O CRT, the auctions all seem to end up within a couple of pounds of my offers.
Dear sellers, yes, your lovely TV may have cost thousands when the technology was still relevant but nowadays it’s worth about 20 quid, 30 if you’re lucky

Happens to me pretty often, to the point where I've almost don't bother, just stick the base bid in.

I think that's the definition karma. Nicely done, Edd. It seems to be 50/50 with me; sometimes my offer gets declined, sometimes they accept it for what it is, a fair offer.

Hilarious! It's only happened to me once, but it really was VERY satisfying!

You've been watching an item for 6 months that's had no offers and you finally put a best offer which is the going rate and the 'best offer', but the seller counters with £5 of the BIN price. Happens often to me.

I put a best offer on heman figure for £10 he declined he countered offered me at £20. I won it for £3 ha ha ha

2 months back an item was being sold for 30 with BO so i offered 25, he came back to me with 29, a sodding quid reduction so i left it, its still on ebay now 27.50 and i would have said yes otherwise no point in having best offer

I love it

Yes it really annoys me when people have Best Offer turned on, yet when you make a (fair) offer either decline it or send one back with a 50p discount. If you aren't open to offers, don't enable it!

[theforceuk]

I think it's funny when you do get a bit of discount, like £5 off a £200 MOC and ebay send you a message saying great negotiating. Really?
