I woke up this morning with a whole lot of offers. That’s good right? Except over half of them had some “statement” or message as to why they were making that offer.

Item retails for 32.00 I have it listed at 16.99 with free shipping and returns. They offer 10, because “it’s not their favorite color”. I understand what they are saying: They want this item, but not really if it is this color. The color I have listed is this companies 2nd most popular color.

What do you think about the “Buyer’s Feedback 100% positive” What else could it be? You can’t give negatives to buyers. This doesn’t really seem like a selling point does it?

Does eBay put this kind of information in for sellers? I will have to go check it out.

This item retails for 42.00. I have it listed for 21.00 with free shipping and returns. The manufacturer had it listed for 12.58 with free shipping. How can I compete with that?

I had one more, from a Canadian buyer. Her statement was “I have to pay duty. Please accept offer.” Her item retailed at 78.00 and I was selling it for 34.99 with free shipping and returns. Her offer? 8.00.

What are some of the crazy offers you’ve received?

Tuesday I went to help this girl scope out her SECOND.. (that’s the number 2) location. If you’ve been following me for very long you’d know that #3 is passionate about dance. She’s been dancing since she was 4.

Her life long dream is to have her own dance studio. When she was 15 we got this crazy idea she could open one in our church.. just one night a week. She did that for a year and got so big, we rented a building. She’s been running her studio for 4 years now.

This year she is opening a new studio in a second location.

We could not be prouder of her! She’s the bomb!
