a new game for me is using the "make offer" button on ebay when a listing has it; I find myself going there to find niche things there more and more often[^1] and have been giving myself 10% discounts with it. It makes me wonder: how low could I go? Should I be taking advantage of the five offer limit and barter my way to 20% by offering 30 or 35% off? Would asking for an entire 50% bother the person so much they'd say "full price or gtfo"?
money is fake but everyone has their price; finding it is so funny to me, esp with old things with arbitrary value/no msrp & production costs to consider. How close to garage sale price can I get? Do I have the nerve and/or gall to lowball in case the seller Just Wants It Gone? Am I overthinking this (positive) or over thinking this (negative)?
Regardless, I bought Em a real fun tool for christmas; I could probably tell yall but on the off chance she decides to read this I'll save that for anyone curious enough to DM
