This is one of the best ways buyers have found success with Best Offers, as it helps make a personal connection with the seller. Communication is your greatest asset to sealing the deal, so make sure to add a message when given the opportunity.
The seller has likely done more research than you on the value of their item, so they have little incentive to just accept the first offer presented to them. You need to compromise so everyone is happy. If they reject you, send them a message asking if they would accept something slightly higher for their item.
Go back and forth politely to try to find the happy medium between what you want to pay and what they are willing to let their item go for. Then, place an offer that fits within that range. If they bother to counter your Best Offer, it means they are definitely interested, so this is your opportunity to get them to sell. Use all 3 counteroffers if necessary to find the perfect selling price so you get the item. Some common examples include:. The seller is completely unlikely to accept your proposal with added terms, and instead, are likely to report you or block you from buying any of their items.
This will help you make realistic offers that sellers will accept, while also ensuring you will get a great deal. Look for an item someone would be willing to let go — not something mass-produced or too run-of-the-mill. The best items to make Best Offers on are unique, rare, or are difficult to sell.
