<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 2808990, member: 22377&quot;]Let&#039;s start a thread about advice and anecdotes regarding the ebay best offer feature&nbsp; (which can technically also apply to other negotiations).</p><p><br /></p><p>A few tips that I think are useful for buyers:</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Be nice to the seller; don&#039;t use insults or talk the item down (i.e. &quot;that coin is ugly; you&#039;re lucky I&#039;m even making an offer&quot;).</p><p><br /></p><p>2) Usually fair offers are between 10%-25% off (there are sellers who take 50%+ off due to unusually high starting prices...do your research on the seller before making the offer).</p><p><br /></p><p>3) Know the value of the item or sale prices of similar pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>4) Sometimes it&#039;s best to just buy something for full price and not negotiate. This can be the case where the item is already priced low and might sell before the seller responds to the offer. It can also be true when cherrypicking.</p><p><br /></p><p>5) There are times when it&#039;s best to just pass and not make any offer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
