The problem with this is it gets tedious from a
buyer's perspective. The way I see it either of three scenarios are occurring when I
see make an offer:
I generally don't like "make an offer", unless the seller has already
stated an offer. If so,then I can decide whether what I want to pay is in
a range that they would discuss it.
Otherwise,it is usually futile to start a discussion.
All too often, the seller wants far more than I would consider.
In flea markets (Foothill, etc.) I will sometimes say, "Would you be
offended if I offered xx?"
Sometimes, they are.
But, sometimes they respond with "I wouldn't be offended, but I wouldn't
accept that." That at least gives a starting point for potential
negotiation.
