*snorffle!* Adventures in buying shitajiki
So, get this:
I've been watching a shitajiki on eBay for over a year. It's overpriced in my opinion, and obviously in the opinion of others because it's just molding away in the seller's inventory.
So, I decide to contact the seller to see if s/he might accept an offer on the board. I even said that I would buy another board, to sweeten the deal.
After reviewing my offer, the seller responds back with a counter offer that is more than the original price of the two boards added together.
I honestly didn't believe it as I read it. What? Why would I make an offer if I would agree to buy the shitajiki at the posted price...much less agree to pay more than I would if I bought each of them outright?
I suppose it may be an honest mistake. Or, maybe it was a polite way to tell me to go suck an egg...
