<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 4428930, member: 10944"]Definitely sounds a bit sketchy but you never know could be a real good customer. These situations are tricky. I tend to try to avoid them. How many non payer feedback? There could be certain legit reasons but once you get more than a few and it’s a pattern it’s best to move on probably. I got offered to end an auction recently for wayyyyy more than I thought the item would go for. I already had multiple bidders so didn’t do it even though the person making the offer was in the lead. What I did do was add to my item description and published how much I was being offered for the item. I did this to let other prospective buyers know much someone wanted it. I hoped this would increase bidding. In the end a different buyer bid just over the published amount and won the auction. So I got more than the offer and didn’t have to end my listing early. It was like 2-4x more than I expected. So I used the offer to my advantage but didn’t accept it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
