Why do some buyers on Ebay send ridiculous low offers that are never going to be accepted.

You wouldn't go to a retail store and offer them a third of their advertised price and expect a positive outcome, so why on Ebay?

True, you wouldn't go into a retail store and haggle because that option is never available there.

 

They don't offer the option of making a 'Best Offer'.

 

However, where that option is made available by a seller on ebay, potential buyers are free to offer whatever amount they like. Good luck to them ! If the offer is ridiculously low, they will more than likely be refused, but everyone knows that's how it works.

 

When I go to car boot sales or markets, I will occasionally make what I believe to be a ridiculously low offer to a stall holder for some item or other and very occasionally am surprised that the offer is accepted. Its simply a case of testing the ground or trying my luck.

 

Its the name of the game with bargaining or haggling.

Charming way to talk about the mother of your children.

I can only imagine she thinks equally as highly of you.

I happen to have a very good sense of humour, as it happens, but I think it's pretty disgusting act to make the woman you supposedly love and respect the butt of your extremely unamusing jokes.
