That's a nice tool. The seller has the option to refuse the offer and then there can be some back-n-forth.

My guy looks at offers as a way to figure out whether his set price is wrong. When he gets ridiculously low offers, it usually means they are sarcastic offers, because his set buy-it-now price is like over 30% too high. That can happen, because not all items have obvious values.

If someone is allowing for a best offer you know they accept offers, which means you should by all means try an offer first. But sometimes a really low offer will be taken as an insult. If someone has something up at $100 don't offer $50.
