    Sounds like someone you wouldn't want to buy from anyway.

    If I'm going to make an offer, my starting point is usually no less than around 60-70% of the listing price. I think your 75-90% range is pretty accurate overall.

    There's one particular seller I know of that has a lot of BIN listings that are way above retail. I hear he's been known to accept 20-30% of his listing price (which would be basically a fair retail price), but I'd say that's an exception. I wouldn't even be making that guy an offer.

    actually I did see a few Canadian toned coins i thought of buying from, but once they blocked me for helping them I would never buy from them ever after that.

    I would ignore an offer that low. You wouldn't even get a reply.

    Edit: I should expand on this. In many parts of the world, an initial offer of 50% is considered an appropriate place to start dickering. To an American, that kind of an offer is an insult, a direct accusation that I don't know how to price my goods and am incompetent.

    There's one particular foreign coin seller that's been doing this forever. I'm sure once in a while they catch a fool offering 50%, which is still way above what the coin typically auctions for. On the flip side, they also push away lots of other potential buyers who see the prices and think the seller is a clown (which is what I think when seeing stuff like this).

    This from the same guy who once destroyed a decent seller's feedback over issues entirely of his own doing, with multiple negs, including one for an item he, due to bidding without available money, didn't bother paying for. I am sorry, but before you jump on the bad seller bandwagon, fellas, consider the source.

    I would ignore a 50% offer if I were selling. Seems too low to me.

    "
    Last thing I need is to sell to some one who resembles the rate of change of acceleration."

    I don't get it. Must need another coffee or something.

    Rate of change of displacement is velocity.......
    Rate of change of velocity is acceleration.......
    Rate of change of acceleration is.........?

    The poster may have meant integral a delta v, rate of change of velocity But I still don't get it.

    If the force producing the acceleration was non linear you'd have second level non-Newtonian differential equation to determine v over t, but I still don't get it.

    The bidder is free to bid whatever he wishes - the seller is free to block whomever he wishes. What the big deal???

    In fact it does have a definition... da/dt = Jerk.

    Which is probably why early physics texts used the letter "J" to represent impulse, or the change in an object's momentum :)

    Exactly!

    I blocked the OP for this reason.

    OP clean up your own house, before you complain about others.

    What you said is entirely true. What I think we may be talking about here is conducting respectful negotiations that could bear fruit for both sellers and buyers.
