The minimum offer set is a step in the right direction. Still think that the seller should have control over the threshold though.

Speaking of lowball offers sellers BEWARE of chillywilly00067. Yes I am calling you out for your low ball offers and annoying input of an offer then canceling it shortly after.

The idea is an interesting one, though I think I am losing sales now since there really is no bargaining chip if buyers want to start low and work from there. If we had a way to turn it off or switch the percentage that would be ideal.
I’m am getting the feeling that the site is turning into amazon, where there are “bots” lowering the prices in order to keep the other sellers prices the lowest. There are a lot of sellers that are giving away cards. $10/$20 cards listed for $1 or less, so there is actually probably no profit if you take out the listing fees and shipping fees. I hate having to keep reducing prices to get something sold because someone else does not care one way of the other what they sell if for. Now I have to consider lowering prices even more to fall into a reasonable range to move higher dollar cards (or even lower priced ones). I love COMC as I have been using you for almost a year and have moved cards that I thought I’d never be able to move out of my house. It beats Ebay and any other site 10 out of 10 times. If you could let me work from home helping you list I’d be all for that. The more I can contribute the better.

I love the idea. One reason I no longer even deal with ebay is becasue of all the bottom feeders that crawled around. i want to deal with serious buyers.

I like this idea, but the seller should be able to configure the percentage.

I agree that this is a good idea and should be configurable. If an owner wants to turn this feature on, the owner should then be able to set the threshold.

Great Idea! I like it! I was offered $2 for a card that booked at $40 and I was sell for $20.

I generally don’t mind rejecting low offers, but I would like a feature to block certain buyers ( there are 3 or 4 for me ) from continually offering the same lowball amount week after week after already being rejected. Maybe after they get blocked by a few sellers, they’ll at least get some sort of clue. But most important for me is that I wouldn’t have to waste my time anymore.

I agree with ND3 about letting sellers set their own percentage. And I’d so like to call out 2 or 3 of the notorious lowballers on here, but I’ll refrain…

I have no received many ridiculously low offers. They are very easy to reject. I say ,bring on the offers,whatever, Ihave no problem with that.

I agree with Erik. I know that it is annoying to get those offers on big dollar cards, but how much time honestly goes into rejecting them? I know that some sellers do not mind, and it is a jumping off point for many cards. I think some real research needs to go into this, as to how much time it is really consuming vs. the number of cards that sell at below 50% of asking price.
