Am I wrong here?
Dude emails me to offer $320 for an item a few days back. I counter with $330 which gives him a discount. Didn't hear back from him. A few days later (today) he asks me if it's still available. I tell him yes and he comes back with an offer of $300. 
Just shot him back an email saying the price is now $350, take it or leave it, because he apparently doesn't know how negotiations work. If you're the douche canoe that low balled me after offering a somewhat reasonable amount for my EE listing, try getting out of the basement a little more, although I hear cheetos dust magnifies the sun's rays and may burn your precious little fairy skin. Better have mommy slap some SPF 45 on after she gives you a bath. Fucking loser. Ok, I feel better now, even after an admittedly weak rant. |

I've dealt with 90% really cool people on the EE, 5% that were okay, and 5% that were douchebags.
The best thing you can do is to have well-defined, succinct terms in your post. And if you want to cut out the riff-raff, don't deal with people who don't have feedback already. |

Not sure. He emailed me so I have his username but I've never searched for a member. Is there a way? He offered, you countered, he passed and your shit didn't sell so he made a lower offer to see if time made you more eager to sell. Why do yo hate freedom bro? |

Or you could move on with life. He offered, you countered, he passed and your shit didn't sell so he made a lower offer to see if time made you more eager to sell. Why do yo hate freedom bro? See, that's freedom, bro

I think the issue is the guy offered, seller counter offered, then guy offered less than his orginal offer. Quoted:

I've never understood people getting butthurt about people offering lower than asking price.

I had a guy want me to send him a PWS upper I was selling without payment because he was afraid of getting screwed.
When I told him that wasn't going to happen I got a rant about how he has XX number of feedback and how I've got a problem. "Well... what's your reasoning? Give me an explanation." "My reasoning is, I don't send shit to people without payment." Yeah... fuck that. I don't need to money that bad. I sold it locally. |

my first EE deal was such a fucking hassle I didn't even look at the EE for about 4 years.
the guy became such a PITA about shipping the rifle to him, wanting to know how quick I would ship it ( yet not sending a check to buy it) that I told him to overnight me a check or forget it, as I had two other offers while "sale pending". |

That just sounds like good negotiation skills to me. Quoted:

Once I had pictures of an accessory mounted on the rifle.
Guy offered me half my asking price if I threw in the rifle also. 
Selling on the EE is crazy. I sell stuff elsewhere now, but I find in that place you get everyone who can't afford what you listed coming and and complaining about the price. |

LOL, what "other buyers"? Quoted:

lol. Potential buyer now has to pay $20 more than other buyers if he wants thanks to his "good negotiation skills" |
| Don't feel bad you should see the stupid ass low ball offer. I have been getting on my DD V11 upper. No one has even came close to my asking price and all offers have been for 600 or less with everything I have on it. Then I have the idiots that shoot me a PM and then email me saying they sent me a PM. Well for fucks sake just send me an email with what you want to say instead of me having to check emails and them log in to check my IM's and see it is some bullshit offer. I have gotten to the point that I don't even reply to the low ball offer or trade offers for stuff I am not even looking for I just delete them and move on. |

I love sellers who post items for $1000+ and no pics, but email them if you want them. Yeah, no. You want $2000+ for a firearm then you can learn how to post pics in your ad. |

He probably forgot what he originally low balled you with.
With the aging of the ee post, he prolly forgot, went, hm, and pinged you again. Not that I would know from personal experience.... 
You get exactly 0 of the pussy you don't shoot for. Same for lowballing. |

Whoever else may come along? OP said he wasn't in a rush. Some people will take the slow dime over the fast nickel. Quoted:

I don't have to buy your stuff. if I can I will, but at the price I want to pay otherwise IDGAF. if someone sends me a message like the op I literally get an LOL because I know he is butt hurt about nothing. im in no hurry either and ill find what I want for the price i'm willing to pay. meanwhile you keep reposting your ad. also some of you are way too up tight to be selling anything. if you cant handle EE, craigslist, or any other online sale forum without getting flustered maybe you should start drinking more. |
