I have an item up for $89.99+$3 s/h OBO. I based that on a $75 sale of a very similar item recently. It did seem a bit high, but I figured I'd throw it up at that price and see what happens.
I received an offer for $40+$3 s/h. Out of principle (yeah, I know...principles), I countered at $45+$3, so it was at least 50% of my asking price. He countered again at $45 all-in. Ugh, ok that's good enough, I'm ok with that price. Problem is he told me he wanted it for $45 all-in with his best offer for $45. Obviously there is still $3 shipping, so $48 total.
I messaged him and said I'd decline the offer and to just send me another offer for $42, plus shipping that's the $45 he wants. I'll accept, easy peasy.
A day goes by, no reply. No big deal, I message the next day. No reply. I get one overnight last night and I read it this morning. He said he's out of town and can't do it now, but he'll do it when he gets home on Monday. I don't understand why, if he can log into his eBay account to send me a message, why can't he log into his eBay account and send an offer?
He strikes me as someone who may not "get around" to paying after I accept his offer. Should I just block and move on, or should I continue to make this sale work? Am I ridiculous and being paranoid?
