[QUOTE="JrCoin, post: 653167, member: 18390"][b]depends...[/b] I think if I was trying to sell a coin I'd rather get a couple low-ball offers rather than end up with no sale. Low balls help confirm the coin is desirable, whereas if I got no bites I might feel like I'm sitting on a skunk. If you were truly hard up for the $ you'd at least consider the offer. That's the problem with internet transactions, they are too impersonal. If you ran a shop and that fella came in once a month to plunk down $200 every month you wouldn't have considered being disrespectful towards a low-ball from him. Situation dictates the terms.
