private offer?

[starmutley]

Hi, 

I have received an ebay message from a buyer wanting to offer a much lower price than the starting bid on one of my listings. Am I right in assuming he should be using the 'make an offer' option. I am unlikely to sell at the price he has asked but I'm just wanting to make sure of how I word my reponse.

Many thanx

i`m going to take a stab it`s the whisky tumblers, but even if it is`nt, i`m always tempted to  reply back that if i have something listed for say £40, why in hell would i take £20 and i always think these buyers know they are worth what their up for, but think people are desperate to sell stuff and try it on, very often dealers as well 🙂

Stick to your prices, the time to consider reducing them, is when they don`t sell after a couple of listing run`s.

Ooohhh! Well sleuthed! 🧐 Yep! That's about right on all accounts! Apparently he used up his 3 lives because he aimed too low! Hey ho! Thanx for your advice. 🙂
