I admire the guts on whoever submitted a less than 50% offer on http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180700441406&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT and had it accepted. Nice going!
Well, my "standard" initial offer for any item with a best offer and a BIN is generally just slightly North of 50%. I figure they're fishing, why shouldn't I? If it's not auto-rejected (maybe 10% of the time), it sometimes sells (maybe 30% of the time), or gets a counter offer (another 30%). The other 40% it's rejected, but I can still make a higher one. A few weeks back, I did place an offer on {a certain hat whose description I thought better of posting here} (BIN was $295 IIRC). That one was well below 50%, and was flat out rejected. It's been relisted at a lower amount now (BIN still too high, and I need a break for my budget).
