Am selling a collectable (valuable old toy) for my father, which is going for a good sum right now and two days to go.
I always do auction listing and not 'buy it now'; I state this clearly in my listing that I don't accept buy it nows - this is my father's wish and in the past I lost money by accepting people's offers anyway (recently lost £300 but that's another story, sob!)
Had some correspondance with the highest bidder, general chit chat answering his q's and I told him I wasn't allowed to play with toy as a child as even then we knew it was a collectable and hence it's been safely stored all these years... (it was actually given to my brother, but he lives abroad and told my dad we could now sell it)
He messaged me back saying oh that's so sad (no it's not! I never wanted to play with it) and to make up for it he's put on another £30 on the bid but please as he's done that, could he make me an offer for a reasonable price.
He's trying it on , right!? I'm pleased he's bid so much but that doesn't mean I should let him have it as a BIN.. the biddings are going way higher than we thought..
I should stick to my guns, right?! Just hope he's not going to get stroppy when I say no sorry but no can do, and start messing me around re postage or feedback etc (if he wins)... grrr
