Thread Title: "Best Offer Auctions Now Available!"
AuctionArmsCeo We've introduced a new Auction Type. It's called Best Offer. It's very simple, really. It's essentially a BuyItNow that lasts as long as two weeks, during which the buyer has the option of making an offer to the seller. That offer is good for as long as the buyer wished to make it, and the seller has the option of either accepting the offer, declining the offer, or declining all offers by lowing his/her BuyItNow price. It's a brand new feature, so let me know what you think.

AA-bob Why in the world would you care about low ball offers, all you have to do is ignore them.

(no avatar) AA-bob...I just don't like to see $25.00 offers on $2500.00 guns

(no avatar) My particular problem with the low ball offers is that at least as far as I am concerned, I will be using the best offer system for high grade stuff...retailing for $1500 to maybe as much as $50,000...if I get a $200 offer on a $50,000 gun either the offeror is an idiot or playing games.,....

(no avatar) If you don't want low ball offers, set your starting price higher.

This is an auction site , last time I looked.

(no avatar) There shouldnt be starting prices on Best Offer auctions, otherwise its just a reserve or Gun Broker style listing

(no avatar) I may be confused on this new Best Offer thing , but I thought it worked similar to bidding unless you reached a point seller accepted and seller could accept offer and close auction.

Most every auction I ever saw would have low bidders to start with and then bidding went up to all bidders would pay.

I can't see how the best offer feature is any different.

Folks just having fun bidding .

Am I wrong?

(no avatar) Nynn...I think that yiu are right

Only difference is an offer isn't binding like a bid is
