I don’t currently see the #2 so did the seller get his asking price from another buyer? Was curious about the seller being upset at your offer, were his/her replies rude or unprofessional? It’s good to know those things as that’s not a person I’d want to do business with. MR SigS and Jeffro. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just starting to collect the ashcans and there was a black one posted. I thought the price was high and I couldn't afford it so I made an offer of all of the money I had at the time. The offer was rejected so I saved up a little more and went to make an offer and found out I was blocked. I did reach out and was told that my offer was insulting and wasted their time which is why I was blocked. I got close to completing my collection a couple of years ago and tried to pay the asking price for one of the blacks, around $3,000. I thought it was overpriced again but I really wanted to finish the set so I was willing to pay it. Turns out I'm still blocked after all of this time so even paying full price I was blocked. A couple of years ago I probably would have bought everything they had listed at the price they wanted. I did end up finding everything I needed so they missed out on selling at asking price for what was considered an insulting offer over a decade ago. If the $800 blue #3 is who you are talking about, that is way too high for a blue and it's not even graded. Maybe if it was graded and a really high grade it would make sense.

However, if your follow up(s) went in the opposite direction, or increased by only a dollar or two, then his time is being wasted. Or was he being unreasonable to very fair offers?

I've never heard of a seller blocking someone giving offers unless they felt their time was being wasted (tiny offer bumps or progressively lower offers). If his price for what you wanted was too high, and you gave more than one offer before being blocked, it seems possible that's what the seller decided, so I'm just curious if it was either one. Or was it neither one, and you were simply blocked? And as @steveinthecity asked, were there rude responses in the negotiations? And I'm not him- I don't sell comics, and if I ever do it's very unlikely I'll do it on eBay. Edited March 6, 2021 by MR SigS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the item in question actually sell? I'm very doubtful. He was Asking $399.95 for a raw copy..... It did however disappear from eBay. I'm not sure why. Stuff sells on ebay all the time for prices which might seem high. However, a price that might seem high is subjective. We all value things differently. I see no reason why an item like this that doesn't show up very often couldn't have sold. In any event, I'm not sure why you care. You made an offer. The offer was countered. You didn't like that but that's life. Move on and forget about it. You seem to be on some kind of crusade, with whatever end goal I'm not sure, but it's making you look foolish. People can ask whatever they like. People can accept or reject whatever offers they like. If you never want to deal with the seller again that's your decision. If the seller never wants to deal with you that's his decision. Move on. Edited March 12, 2021 by Jeffro.
