and Wheels thats not even a first offer thats a counter offer to Tags' counter offer to their first offer which must have been lower still .... I think

bnwt · « **Reply #51 on:** July 13, 2010, 07:22:15 PM »

correct

the first offer was $15

which is pretty standard lately

the other day I had one knocked back buyer email me and complain because their $30 offer for $75 item was in their words "a very good offer"

I hope you counter offered $244.99 did you ..... If I get ridiculous offers thats what I do an equally stupid counter offer occassionally

*Brum6y* · « **Reply #54 on:** July 13, 2010, 09:15:43 PM »

I forget where I saw it and the amounts involved, but I remember a haggling exercise that made a lasting impression.

I'll just use some made up numbers, but you'll get the idea:

Buyer		Seller
(Offer)		(Counter-offer)
$50
		$100
$60
		$90
$70
		$85
$75
		$80
$76
		$80
$76
		$80
$77
		$85
Huh??
		$95
$80
		$110

There are times.............

bnwt · « **Reply #55 on:** July 13, 2010, 10:07:54 PM »

my reply to offers like that is

"I am happy to consider any SERIOUS offer you may wish to make"

*smee* · « **Reply #56 on:** July 13, 2010, 10:10:02 PM »

cant have been an ebay thing Brumbles , Buyer only gets 3 offer/counter offer chances

*Brum6y* · « **Reply #57 on:** July 13, 2010, 10:48:07 PM »

No Smee - it wasn't an eBay thing at all. It was quite some years ago and I'm not sure of the setting... but the progress of the exchange was quite funny to watch - except for the buyer.

*smee* · « **Reply #58 on:** July 13, 2010, 10:50:45 PM »

wasnt there a similar haggle on Life of Brian or one of the Monty Python movies ?

*Brum6y* · « **Reply #59 on:** July 13, 2010, 10:58:49 PM »

I don't know Monty Python that well - but it's not impossible.

*Brum6y* · « **Reply #60 on:** July 13, 2010, 11:04:06 PM »

I did find this, though: Monty Python - Life of Brian - The Haggle

*smee* · « **Reply #61 on:** July 13, 2010, 11:05:21 PM »

yep thats the one I was thinking of

I've seen venetian blinds before - but that's the first curtain I've come across!

The OP needs to spend a moment on self-reflection, methinks.

Struth. I wonder what the so called offensive posts stated?

*smee* · « **Reply #65 on:** July 25, 2010, 05:29:40 PM »

I am surprised the whole thread wasnt banished to outer space

the op refered to the host as feebay ...that normally would have been enough

On eBay - who knows?

Could be someone pressing the report button - because they just felt like it.

*Brum6y* · « **Reply #67 on:** July 25, 2010, 05:41:36 PM »

Just checked one of the OPs current listings....

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Canon-VM-E1-Video8-Camcorder-/260638270411?cmd=ViewItem&pt=AU_Video_Cameras&hash=item3caf4063cb

Is line 2 in the description (the red text) reportable...?

*Brum6y* · « **Reply #68 on:** July 25, 2010, 06:02:21 PM »

Just checked out the two ID's they complain about ... they are both selling accounts that leave the OP for dead!

Roo · « **Reply #69 on:** July 25, 2010, 08:58:44 PM »

I tend to think that it is reportable.....so let's see what happens..lol

I have had my worst week ever for low rent retard buyers

the worst one this week was a guy ... he gives his address as only currey ipswich ....... that's it

I email him asking him to confirm the address which he does .. two weeks later he's complaining that the parcel has not arrived

I again mention that the odd address may have something to do with it and suggest he contact his post office ... he does and discovers the parcel has been sent Return To Sender - Insufficient Address

he then replies saying his address is actually (street number) # currey st, brassall and wants me to resend the parcel

I say fine but he'll have to pay for the postage and the padded bag again .... to which he replies

without this getting too ugly...you did nothing in good faith.. u were paid for product and postage in advance. Secondly who sends a parcel without a street number? I could only assume that you left that out in ur email. Thirdly..u would not need a new padded bag as u only have to re-address the one that comes back.Just put a # (street number) and thats it ... oh you mite want to add (ST.) if you left that out!
Last but not least maybe u should take it up with Ebay as apparently they gave u the address originally. Sue them for the $4.if u think that u will go bust over it!

I cancelled the sale

then just to crown my week ........... last night a guy buys a wallet and then sends me this email

Dear bnwt,

i will pay when i receve the item

if you didn't laugh you'd have to cry

I think that Heather may discover that's the only pork she's likely to get

what a pack of low rent whiskey tango trailer (or in peter's case - caravan park) trash

is there some way of blocking an entire demographic from buying on eBay ??

HEMA is a Dutch department store. The first store opened on November 4, 1926, in Amsterdam. Now there are 150 stores all over the Netherlands.

Take a look at HEMA's product page - just wait a couple of seconds and watch what happens. DON'T click on any of the items in the picture; just wait.

This company has a sense of humor and a great computer programmer, who has too much time on his hands.

That was brilliant ... a bit of a resource hog - but brilliant.

..... and yes, WAY too much time on his/her hands!

He mustn't sell much, everything ends up breaking or catching on fire.

Oh yeah, that Heather's got a head like a half sucked Mango. I hate Mango's.

haven't posted a good "haul" video in a while ... so here's

My "I'm Addicted to Ebay" Haul

I love the comment by Blackpearl1908 ...I LOVE the jewelry choices! Do you have any particular stores on ebay that you recommend? Preferrably that? ones that had the $.99 and $1.00 items. I like to keep it cheap

Maybe her recording equipment was trying to tell her something BNWT, when it didn't work before.

Talking to herself only was a community service.

the funniest thing about that listing is that it had hundreds of visits and not 1 bid at a lowly $1000

bnwt · « **Reply #83 on:** April 04, 2011, 08:15:29 AM »

yes

there is an eBay connection ... keep listening
