Something that seems unique to these boards is the amount of sellers that claim they DON'T own the books they are selling. For instance, you PM an offer and the response is, "Sorry, there's no room to negotiate. I'm selling this for my buddy/brother/local comic shop owner/pastor." I've gotten variations of this response probably a dozen times over the last couple years. I suppose that's an easy tactic to avoid negotiating but it's also just as easy to state, "Thanks for the offer but my price is firm."
