Is it turning into a trend?
Say you got a $2k guitar on Reverb, someone sends you a $200 "offer".
Whadya do, ignore it? For 24 hours, just ignore it.
Then he's back, this time with $250?
What is this, brain damage?
No comms, just these stupid offers.
So, the light went on, I take his price, plus my original price = $2250 and here you go, you can have it for $250 more than I wanted.
Haven't had a lot of action in the way of counteroffers after this move, but the heartening thing is that Reverb - in their infinite wisdom = lack of obnoxious AI - will let you counteroffer these time wasters with "offers" even higher than your original price ;]
So, you got a $5k guitar and a guy makes a $500 "offer", feel free to counteroffer $50k.
Ridiculous behavior deserves the same in kind.
I wouldn't have posted this, but it just happened again, so I figured I'd share a solution that seems to work ;]
PS You can't stop this, but you can have some fun with it.
