    the item is already listed as a buy it now, multiple item auction, with immediate payment by paypal. i have not added the best offer option.

    first she wanted it cheaper due to a holiday, then she thought i should have reduced them due to the recession

    i have blocked her from buying the item at full price. i took a look at her feedback left and received and went :eek:

    No harm in asking

    I just sent a email to a seller for 2 of the same items listed and asked if they will do a small discount 2x£16 hoping it will be £30 :) its a bin item, I got 100% feedback

    If you dont ask you dont get

    Congrats on 3k posts by the way

    Must admit, I have asked once or twice in the past when the item looked a little over priced (not suggesting yours was) - sometimes people reduce sometimes they don't, but never hurts to politely ask.

    Why do emails in all Capital letters always look dodgy..or is it just me that thinks that?

    I've had quite a lot of stupid offers in the past few months (including on things without Best Offer on them). I just ignore them: a response only encourages them.
