    Quoted from TomGWI:

    My definition of:
    FIRM: this is my price. I am not going to sell it for cheaper so don't even try.
    OBO: Or Best Offer
    It's really not that hard to understand.
    I believe people list it as firm because either that is what they have into it or think the market value for the pin is and they don't want to be bothered by the pinhead who will ask for a discount because they are looking for a deal.
    I believe people put best offer because either they have it listed to high or they are just trying to get rid of a game and they will entertain offers.
    Again, not hard to understand.

    Actually if I want to move something quick I price it below current market and say FIRM. That's pretty much how I use eBay. All my crap on eBay is priced "Buy it Now" right were I want it and just below were other matching items have recently sold. My stuff usually goes in a day or two.....sometimes three.

    If I really don't care if it sells right away or not I will price it above market and add OBO.
