There are so many sweaters that pop up on the bay and at decent prices, communication and haggling is key, settling at the price listed just isn't good enough. The majority of the time if you send a message offering a lesser price through Paypal only and avoiding eBay fees, they will work with you. eBay fees are at 10%, worth avoiding for every seller. This method never fails me on any item on the bay period. I love the executive bear but not at that price, there are too many other knits I would rather have, just grabbed a aztec american flag for $200, and a green american flag for $100, can't wait until it arrives
