			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I finally got an opportunity this weekend to polish off the counteroffer functionality and push it live.  It was an immediate hit.  This has nearly eliminated the rejected offers, and it seems to have increased the total number of offers.  Maybe people aren’t as shy about making offers if they know that the offers can be countered?</p>
<p>Today there was a perfect example of your site enabling collectors to do what they love&#8230; haggling over prices.<br />
 <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />   </p>
<p>GrahamsCards sent a $47.50 offer for 35 cards in my <a href="http://www.checkoutmycards.com/Users/LowPriceCards">LowPriceCards</a> account.  The original asking price was right around $90.  I countered by asking just under $70.  GrahamsCards countered my proposal by offering $60.  I countered again with a $65 proposal, and GrahamsCards accepted my proposal.</p>
<p>Here are a couple of the cards that were included in the transaction.<br />

<p>To my knowledge, <a href="http://www.checkoutmycards.com">CheckOutMyCards.com</a> is the only site that allows buyers to make a single offer on multiple cards and let the buyer and seller haggle back and forth over the price.  This was truly a beautify interaction to watch.  This is only a small taste of the many innovations that <a href="http://www.checkoutmycards.com">CheckOutMyCards.com</a> will be bringing to the online sports card community in the near future.</p>
