eBay "make an offer" is actually a "counter-offer", since the seller
has
already posted some sort of price. Those can be quite productive.
The ones that I don't like are ones (particularly flea-market) where the
seller refuses to give any indication of what they want, and demands that
the potential buyer make the first offer.
