"What's Your Best Price?"

Here's just a few suggestions:

"Whad'ya got?"

...or...

"My best price is $6.49, but then again I really admire $ 199.95 as well. I do like the numbers with a few commas too. What's yours?"

...or...

"My best price is going to be the one offer I accept. Since I haven't heard it yet, I don't know. Get back to me once I've sold it and I'll let you know."

I've never had a single sale to anyone making those kinds of queries. One or two have turned out to be real jerks as far as dealing with the their subsequent emails. A few have initiated transactions only to back out later. Many have been a tremendous waste of my time, and have led only to frustration, so I've simply just stopped responding to such queries. My experiences from doing online trading since 97' via eBay, and later through Audiogon, do not reflect a single exception in my recollection. YMMV.

OBO = Or best offer. "What's your best price?" is neither an offer, nor an agreement to buy at the asking price. I agree with Entrope - clearly you have set a starting price. If you are also opening the sale up to offers then if the interested buyer really wants the item they should make an offer. Why would I list an item at a price that is significantly higher than the one he/she would accept? Is there anyone participating in this thread who's had great results in approaching a seller with that kind of question?
