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.

(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

AA-bob Slight correction, Cyro. Actually the offer IS binding for the period of time specified by the offeror.

(no avatar) WWG if AA Bob figures out a way to stop people from making those low-ball offers I suggest he resign and go out on the road as a magician.LOL!

On our penny auctions we get some $2 bids on $500 guns too.I just laugh.

(no avatar) Penney auctions would be the way to go if you could put a reserve on them

Like the Best Offer the seller has to except the offer

(no avatar) WHY WOULD ANYONE CLUTTER UP A PENNY AUCTION WITH A RESERVE? JUST DO A BASIC AUCTION AND START IT WITH WHAT YOU EXPECT TO GET.
