Okay...what does that even mean?
No silly offers? How does one define a "serious" offer?

Yes, no silly offers. Pay what is asked, or make an offer within reason. Be ready for such an offer to be accepted and be likely and able to proceed with a purchase.Coffee wrote:Okay...what does that even mean?

Asking for a $100? Then $30 is probably a silly offer. $90, well I'd consider that serious, yet it still doesn't mean it would be acceptable to a seller.

Re: "Serious offers only"
I doubt that someone who is funny enough to make silly offers will be deterred from doing so by the request for "serious offers only" anyway.

Re: "Serious offers only"
What's annoying (to me) is when "serious offers only" are solicited without any price or beginning point stated - like we're supposed to read the seller's mind to make a large enough offer that doesn't insult them.
Beyond that, business is business, and I have no qualms about offending a potential seller with a low-ball offer. If they don't want to sell it (or negotiate further), all they have to do is say "no". I don't care if they consider my offer non-serious or otherwise.

Re: "Serious offers only"
You find the same sort of seller stipulating 'no time wasters'.

I happen to have a Susato D, with a rampant lion engraved on it, that I'm thinking of selling.
Funny offers only.
