[QUOTE="Stevearino, post: 4106782, member: 74571"]When I buy on eBay and there is a “Best offer” option, I will check completed sales and make a reasonable offer. If my offer might not appear reasonable to the seller I will state the reason(s) for my offering price. I have occasionally contacted a seller who has not listed an “offer” option and asked. “Are you open to an offer?” I don’t ask what their best price is. In these cases. If they say no I’ll just move on as I’ve determined the listing price is too high IMO. If the seller replies yes, I will make an offer. I don’t see the seller as an adversary, rather someone trying to make a living the same way I did for 50+ years. I aim for a win-win result. Recently I’ve contacted some sellers to let them know there is an error in their listing, and consistently get a positive response. I have contacted others asking ridiculously high prices that it appears, IMHO, that they are trying to fleece unsuspecting buyers. Wonder of wonders, those responses aren’t so positive. Steve[/QUOTE]
