Message:: [QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 2809248, member: 73983"]All of my listings are run as a BIN with BO enabled.  I do not set auto accept or reject.  I so enjoy getting that notification from eBay about an offer or the cha ching sound emanating from my iPhone.  I like to review every offer that comes in whether it's high or low. For the ridiculously low offers such as $50.00 for a $200.00 item, I just respond with a counter offer of $199.00.  I usually don't hear back from them after that.  It get's my point across without a snarky remark (which of course I would like to do).  When people send me offers that are reasonable but a bit below my acceptance level, I send them a note thanking them for a reasonable offer along with my counter offer. On the buying side, I know how much I despise ultra low slap in the face offers and will never make any.  My unwritten rule is 25% below the BIN price for my starting point.  Now if the the BIN is WAY above market, I simply don't even bother.  I may let it go through a few list and relist cycles and then give my highest offer along with a courteous note to the seller. I have found that around half of my items that sell are at my BIN price without the buyer even bothering to make an offer.  This is why I like to do the BIN's.  My BIN prices are set at a good percent over what I need to get out of the coin.  Which of course leaves ample room for negotiating, which I love to do.[/QUOTE]
