    ive had a message from someone straight away asking for a buy it now price, as ive only ever done auctions, i dont really know what to do. i want to leave to run the full 7 days as its the only one on there,
    what would you do? please help xx

    I think it depends on the offer and how many watchers, if your interested email back and say you hadnt really thought about a BIN price, what were they thinking of. If it comes back less than you wanted say no and let it run.

    If you really dont want to do a BIN just email back saying thank you for the offer but you wil be letting the auction run (I sometimes throw in a bit of bull about it being listed for my mother/sister/great great aunt aggie whos hard of hearing and they have unfortunately specified they want the auction to run, if I think they might be a pushy or difficult buyer :o)

    I cant wait til monday as its pay day and we're paying off over £1000 this month which we've never done in one go but also really sad at im returning to work full time after a year off on maternity. my job is quite well paid though and just keep telling myself its going to pay for a nice house with a good back garden ( once CC's gone ) and a decent life for my daughter but going to miss her soo much :(


    Know the feeling only too well....:o Keep the reason in mind, and it'll see you through the day until it's time to play with your daughter xx
