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 8)

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 :roll: :lol:

I think that's the definition karma. :lol: 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.

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.

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!

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?
