So I often sell Buy Now instead of auction and I am currently listing a BNIB piece of kids garden toy equipment worth £350. I have priced at £275 allowed buyers to make a Best Offer and hoping to get £200+
I've had the same buyer make an offer of £150 and then today (a few days later) £120! I could see the sense in the first low offer, they said they could pick up next day so were obviously hoping I wanted a quick sale, but I've listed for a month hoping to get a good price at Christmas and if I don't sell it now i'll wait and list again in the spring. I've got 28 people watching so I don't think its unreasonable to hope to get a better offer.
My question is this: are my assumptions correct or is there some expected practise/etiquette with best offers that means all the offers are going to be as low as this? I have only done Best Offer once before with furniture that then sold on gumtree first so I haven't any previous experience to draw on.
TIA
