New eBay listing oddity / trend.

Check the “best offer” auction closer the next time you want something.

I have found several that give an item away cheap to those smart enough to actually read the auction,
which most don’t.

Auction will be like $14 Buy It Now or Best Offer.

Read the auction and at the bottom of the pages it says send a best offer of $10 and its yours
with free shipping.

As they know many wont read it and just pay the $14, when they really only want $10.
They are glad to sell it cheaper if you’re smart enough to read it.
Odd, cool, but just another trick on the lazy eBayer.

I was looking at tweeters n led driving lights when I noticed the new trend.
