The thing about Offers and
Counter offers.
In case you are thinking
about making an offer on this piece please consider this:
Like in most antique
stores I can sometimes go to about 10% in giving discounts on items that linger
longer on Ebay.
My position as dealer is
very compatible I have to keep my prices low as possible. There is not that
much room for negotiation.
I list hundreds of items
every month. Most of them sell pretty quick usually within a 3 month period.
But, I don't know if it will sell.
I often have the “make
offer” button placed in the listings, so I do not have to go back every time a
listing lingers longer on eBay than usual. It simply is too much work to have
to reverse those items.
If I can't honor your
offer, please think about this and don't be offended. Just try again, keeping
this in mind.
