11. DON'T GIVE THAT "MAKE ME AN OFFER" BS. there's already a site like that (http://www.ebay.com). sellers/traders know what they want in return for their items, just be up-front and don't give the run around.

too many threads where people are doing this.

i understand the frustration about mentioned exaples, but not everyone knows the going rates for tf`s(like myself).

the only reason i posted them for sale on here is because i rather them going to collectors who really want them rather than putting them on evilbay!

ps.
sorry if i took this personal

no need to take it personal dude. it is just frustrating going back and forth with bids and i also hate low balling people. you should start a price check thread maybe in the toy forum for prices.

also, check completed ebay auctions. Not showing the consideration to find out on your own is plain ignorant.

If you don't know how to find the prices, that's fine. That's why this thread is here.

No need to get angry anyone, I don't mean to get personal with anyone when I post a rule in somebodies thread. It's just nice when we all adhere to the same rules. It makes for some very smooth transactions.

Once my point is made, I always go back and delete the post to tidy up the tainted thread.

Make me an offer and I'll consider doing that. :grin:

Agreed 100%. If I want to make an offer, I'd rather just go to ebay and hence, it is against the rules here as on most other trade sites.

It's difficult playing that game, but there is much worse going on on ebay.

i used to do that, but only b/c i too wasnt sure of the prices, but after doing this for some time, i (you) sort of know whats worth what. there are some things that i may put a (?) next too simply b/c i have no idea (i.e. G2 cyberjets), or BW obsure stuff. things like that. but i do have to agree, you shouldnt run bids on these boards. there is a place for that, and that place is ALWAYS a last resort for me. plus i'd much rather do business and make friends here or there. and i've made quite a few. plus i like the benefits that come w/ the relations you build. my thoughts--ZEDZ
