I have 2 issues with this.
First, as a buyer, I don't really understand why sellers add this to their listing but decline offers and make counter offers of practically the full amount. I've made offers on three items this week and each seller has wanted at least 97% of the BIN price.
Secondly, as a seller, buyers email offering 50% of the listed price. I've had a few offers recently after deliberately not putting 'best offer' on the listing.
One buyer started negotiating and I decided to accept a slightly lower offer just to get rid of it but wasn't prepared to drop it too much. Once she'd agreed to my final offer, she emailed to say what a poor negotiator she was and had 'intended to get it at a much lower price, ha, ha'. Er, it wasn't actually listed as 'make me an offer' .
I'm a right moaner, aren't I ...feel free to tell me so
