Good advice before you Make An Offer on eBay =]

If there is a product you want and are wondering how low you will be able to win it for when you make an offer then here is what I do.

I was just about to buy a pack of 10 solar lamps. It has the make an offer option, so obviously you can click purchases and view that people have paid full price, and it shows people that offers have been accepted and declined but not how much they sold for.

What I do, it works great becuase this product was this sellers main product, was go into his feedback where you should look for someone who has bought the product and it will say how much they paid for it. You will be able to see the people who paid full price, but some people will have paid less, I just scroll through the feedback to look for the lowest winning price and hey presto, you can get the product cheaper :rotfl: Just thought I would share a little advice with people who didnt know it ;)

    I have looked this way to. You can also look in their selling history but if they sell a lot this can be laborious.

    This is why so many sellers with Best Offer now use the private listing function...

    The item price and description do not appear on the feedback pages.
