Just wondering if anyone knew: if someone puts in a best offer for something, then the listing ends, would I still be able to accept the offer or is it too late?

thanks

    Once item has ended you can't ut an offer or accept it (I think)
    Information - never enough, questions - always too many, decisions - not always the best

    No item ends, offer ends.

    Some buyers think that by putting in a 'last minute' offer that the seller will accept it, most of the time the seller doesn't even get a chance to reject it!

    If offering its usually best to do it early on in the listing before anyone beats you to it.
