Offer / counter-offer? Audiogon rules

Rather than make an official counteroffer, I sometimes will tell the potential buyer what I'd accept and leave it up to them to submit another offer.  For example, let's say I'm selling a piece for $1000, and someone offers $850.  I will decline the offer but send a note thanking them and saying that I would accept $925 but won't go lower.  Then it's up to them to decide whether that price is acceptable.  If they offer anything lower, I just decline with a "no thanks."

No

The answer to your question is “no”.  But you are free to counter offer the potential buyer again. 

no
