Occassionally, I see an auction with some items of interest and a high
buy-it-now tag, plus "make offer". I make a lowball offer, which reflects
how much I really want to pay. Next thing I know, I get a counter offer,
close to the original full asking price and at this point I just move on. If
I really want the item, I might make a counter-counter offer. Ebay lets you
play this game 3 times only.

Here was an auction with at T32 flash (rather worn) and various accessories
of interest, including a triple connector. Things I can use. The
"buy-it-now" was $120, plus "make offer". I make an offer for $50, expecting
the counter offer. I was not going to offer more. To my surprise, my offer
is accepted! So for around $60 (with shipping) I got some more flash items
to play with. It rarely happens for a first low offer to be accepted.
There are a few desperate sellers out there...
