The real problem I see is that he never even tried to work with the buyer in reaching a happy medium for both persons involved. Now if he isn't able to sell for 285 bucks and tries to reach back out to the person that offered him the 250 bucks the buyer will say no and offer lower than the original offer he made because the seller turned it down in the beginning. That is where you sellers mess up alot of times hoping for your "lowest price on the Internet". Stop saying that because you never know what the lowest price online is, how about just setting a fair price on your item that you would pay for it if you wanted to buy it from someone.
What business school did YOU graduate from? You jump at the first offer that's thrown at you?
I'm not sure if you're a old member w/a new ID, or if you're really just new, but you'll soon figure out how things work on here.
Most recently, I had a pair of shoes for sale, and I wanted $280....I got an e-mail asking offering $200, so I didn't even bother replying. 3 days later, I got another message offering me the full price. Either he wanted them bad enough, or realized my price WAS the best price. This isn't the first time that's happened. I've had TONS of times were I'll have a price...let's say, $300...and I'll get a message asking "can I do $280?". No, I can't...cause every dollar counts. Remove $16 for shipping, and $11 from PayPal, and that leave little room for profit. Of course, they'll say "man, $280 is all I've got". If that's ALL you have, you need to save your money...buying shoes should be the LAST thing on your mind. If you're worried about getting a "fair price", then you need to do whatever it takes to get the shoes for retail.
