I needed a short piece of tubing. An eBay metal dealer had what I needed for $12. w/free shipping. It also had make offer. I thought the price was about double what it was worth including free shipping. I offered $8. He counter offered $11.85. I thought that was funny, so I counter offered $8.15. He sent me a message and asked if I was serious. I laughed again.
Is there an advantage to the seller to list "make offer" if he's not really going to use it?
