BIN OBO Etiquette

[palidin20603]

Someone offered $20 and I sent a message that I could do $25. They reply that they have to ask their wife, but send the counter offer. I have 2 other bids and $20 but they haven't gotten back to me yet about $25. The listing has been up for 11 hours with 3 bids already. I don't want to send counter offer yet because someone may buy at BIN. Is this bad form? HH

You mean you have had 3 offers on it, not bids correct? You should not have told the guy you would take $25 for the bracelet if you weren't ready to let if go for that. Send all counteroffers at the same time and whomever responds first gets it or just decline them all and let it run. I usually DON'T add the best offer option UNTIL after it hasn't sold the first time around with a straight BIN.

Thank you guys! I got a 4th offer at $25 and countered at $27.50. It sold last night for $27.50 with 3 other counter offers sitting out there at $25! HH
