Rabbit, I'll put it simply for you. If a seller has an item on Best offer (IE:: a Lou Rawls autographed LP) and someone (IE: John Smith) comes and asks if the shipping can be changed from the overpriced Pitney Bowes Global Shipping to the much more reasonably priced USPS, the seller as been alterted to the fact that the person (John Smith) asking the question has more than a passing interest in the item. Also if John Smith asks if the seller to do the same with some other items on Best Offer so he can combine them, the seller knows more about John Smith than he would have if John Smith never asked. He will most likely hold out for a higher offer knowing there is real interest on the part of John Smith.
And about me hoping GSP never comes to Australia. Well, you may hope for it, I don't! And you may be surprised that me hoping for something is in now way inflicting mt views on anybody. Yes young fella, there is a big difference between hoping and inficting!
You do more twisting than I do. The blanket you thinly veil your ad hominem attack has just about cocooned you. You'll probably have to unwind and you'll be twisting anti-clockwise this time around.
Politician. Yeah, I would like to think I would make a good politician, but I'd tell the boss to take a running jump at himself.. Other problem is I don't like racists and people who serve the wealthy at the expense of others so I dare say I wouldn't last long.

I'll put it simply for you. If someone makes any sort of an offer on an item the seller is allerted to the fact that someone is interested in it - but that doesn't mean that they will pay more than what they've offered. Sellers get many offers that never result in a sale so I'm sure most sellers with MAO on their listings wouldn't automatically assume when they get an offer that they should hold out for a higher price than they'd originally planned.
If a potential buyer asks whether the seller will consider a different type of postage, that alerts the seller to the fact that the buyer does care about the total amount that they spend and won't pay just any old price to get what they want.
It's all about the ball being in the sellers court. Simply, the seller knows there's an interest that is more than passing and the buyer looking for cheaper post has no bearing on what they're willing to pay. Actually the seller could reson that the buyer would have more money to offer if they're saving as twenty bucks on postage by changing from GSP to USPS.

Going by your reasoning, anyone who tries to sell their house and has someone actually look through the house would assume that because there's any sort of interest it's automatically worth more than they originally thought. All I can say is that you must desperately want things to be so afraid of sellers holding out for a fair price.
I don't want anything of the sort!

You talk about not liking racists but you use a lot of terms that are condescending, like calling me "young fella" (both of which happen to be incorrect). I've seen you do it to plenty of others in the past and they thought the same about it as I do. I had to laugh at the rest of what you said. I've seen you attack the characters of others and been quite blatant about it. You think some segments of the population are fair game but not others.
Yeah I don't like racists. Also I was calling rabbit young fella, not you! And you haven't seen me do it to plenty in the past! I did call k1ooo-slr-sales "young k1ooo-slr-sales" once and he laughed about it. However he did correct me on calling him "my friend, cobber and amigo. Fair enough, I didn't call him that anymore.
I have a friend who's in her 50s abd I call her young lady. I have another friend of mediterranian descent who calls me "young man". I call my brother "young dude" and I often call people amigo, cobber etc. Even once called a policeman cobber. Actually more than once. Nothing nasty. Just me and my way. I love those terms. And if someone wants to call me cobber, amigo, compadre, young fella, old goat, bro', brother, bruss or whatever I'm fine with that.
And as for me attacking the character of others. I don't as you say. But, when someone fires off at me I give the same back.
