Message:: [QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 4107252, member: 15309"]As to the central question, I list every coin in my inventory as a BIN or Best Offer.  For each coin I determine my auto accept offer price and my auto decline offer price.  The percentages of these change from coin to coin and are dependent upon a number of variables including but not limited to:  marketplace saturation of that date/mm, my purchased price compared to market price, how many of that date/mm I have in my inventory etc. Typically, most buyers simply make an offer, and if that offer is above my auto decline price, I either accept, decline, or counteroffer.  For those buyers who send me a message asking me for my "best price" without proffering an offer, I will send them and offer price that is somewhere between my list price and my auto accept price.  If they try to counteroffer I will immediately decline and tell them that they asked me for my "best price" which by definition is not negotiable.  This is to say that it is entirely possible that if the same buyer had submitted a lower offer without asking me for my best price, they might be able to get a better deal. People who routinely ask for your "best price" think that they are doing you and themselves a favor by cutting to the chase and eliminating the negotiation process.  I think they are leaving money on the table, which suits me just fine.[/QUOTE]
