"Has anyone paid attention to how many new shops RL is signing up? Already 51 shops in January and the month is only 2/3rds gone. At that rate it becomes harder and harder to be seen on the site. With the free listing, while it is a nice, immediate,…"

Joel Gilgoff replied to Hidden in the Hills's discussion Recent Offers in my RL shop; Hidden in the Hills in the group Ruby Lane"If someone tells you they saw your item for less on eBay - it can't be something more desirable than your item (ot there was a problem in the one listed on eBay) - or they would have purchased it on eBay and never emailed you. Your best…"
Antiques on Canaan St replied to Hidden in the Hills's discussion Recent Offers in my RL shop; Hidden in the Hills in the group Ruby Lane"My last three sales were all offers. I accepted two at 20-30% off without countering. I am just not good with negotiating and if they have been listed for a long time, I let them go. The third offer was pretty funny-It was for 45% off and included…"
Hidden in the Hills replied to Hidden in the Hills's discussion Recent Offers in my RL shop; Hidden in the Hills in the group Ruby Lane"To all of you who have replied, I very much appreciate your input and funny correlations and stories! They are uplifting. One of my offerers is still contemplating my generous counter offer, we'll see. Good Selling!

Jan Story replied to Hidden in the Hills's discussion Recent Offers in my RL shop; Hidden in the Hills in the group Ruby Lane"That seems to be a favorite tactic with some sellers - it's kind of the equivalent of the used-car salesman's "belonged to a little old lady who only drove it on Sundays." "

Now that is hilarious. Thanks for helping start my day with a laugh.

San Marcos Art Glass replied to Hidden in the Hills's discussion Recent Offers in my RL shop; Hidden in the Hills in the group Ruby Lane"I have a stock answer for people who talk about seeing it for less on eBay. I tell them that very good bargains can be found on eBay sometimes, so it can pay off to spend time looking. That keeps the conversation positive while pointing out that the…"
Jan Story replied to Hidden in the Hills's discussion Recent Offers in my RL shop; Hidden in the Hills in the group Ruby Lane"I wonder if they're some of the "bad buyers" who try to intimidate eBay sellers into lowering their prices or giving partial refunds. EBay is starting to crack down on some buyer abuses - maybe these are people who find…"
Ornaments replied to Hidden in the Hills's discussion Recent Offers in my RL shop; Hidden in the Hills in the group Ruby Lane"We all get (insultingly) low offers from time to time and often they take the form of 'I saw it on ebay (or another site). for less'. I usually politely point out that there are a lot of reasons why prices could be…"
Pearl's Parlor replied to Hidden in the Hills's discussion Recent Offers in my RL shop; Hidden in the Hills in the group Ruby Lane"I would think they are trying to intimidate you into lowering the price. If they can find it cheaper, good for them. We all know that eBay prices are not as high right now as they used to be."
Hidden in the Hills replied to Hidden in the Hills's discussion Recent Offers in my RL shop; Hidden in the Hills in the group Ruby Lane"Thank you for the encouragement; I was beginning to doubt my prices, but I think they are fair, and I told them so; resulting in no sales. Could be a whole new scam practice."
2Hearts Uptown @Ruby Lane replied to Hidden in the Hills's discussion Recent Offers in my RL shop; Hidden in the Hills in the group Ruby Lane"No similar offers, thanks for the heads up. If we wanted to sell on Ebay, we would! If they want to spend the hours required to troll Ebay for good deals, which certainly are there to be found, then more power to them. But…"

Recent Offers in my RL shop; Hidden in the Hills
In the last week, I've received offers on 2 different items in my shop with interesting similarities. Both were for approximately 40% on my listed price and both 'offerers' claimed they had just bought the same item on Ebay, new or mint condition, for much less. I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same activity.See More
