<p>[QUOTE="ThinnPikkins, post: 1366875, member: 32346"]I have this happen quite alot! Seems like the sellers dont really want to take an offer or are disgusted with one. Honestly I have a much higher rate of success just messaging someone thru the system and offering lower amount directly thru paypal. For instance, Saturday I find a nice candy store michigan cash register for $695. I message the seller and politely ask "Hello there!, I was wondering if you were accepting offers on your register or if the price is firm? Thank you for your time in advance!" I get a message back saying send an offer! </p><p><br /></p><p>My experience with "best offer" is you always seem to get shot down unless you offer purchase price less the shipping or close to it! I just sent an offer for 40 dollars off a 129.99 listed price and was shot down "the items only have about 70 dollars in silver, I was leaving 20 for profit" so I said forget it. Last night that seller sent me a message saying I could send another offer! Like the Original poster said, I ignored it just on principle. </p><p><br /></p><p>Lesson of the day....Words do not cost a dime, but can save you one![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
