I find something on that auction site I'm interested in. The listing has "Buy It Now" and "Make An Offer" options so I make an offer.

The seller declines my offer saying, "Sorry, I need to get full price for this.".

So, if you need (or want) to get full price for the item I can understand that, but then why in the he!! would one have the "Make An Offer" option if all you're willing to accept is full price, which presumably is the BIN price?

I haven't been burned yet, I save lots of money there and have meet some very nice people. If it weren't for said site I would have never learned about tackle industries.

I see your concern about "offer" but sometimes they give sellers discounts with certain listings.

Possibly he got close to a full offer right away in the auction, now knows he can wait and see what happens.

If there is no bidding and someone comes in with an offer close to the end of the auction more chances they will take it.

It's not an auction, per se. There is no bidding option, only BIN or Make An Offer. It is close to the end of the listing and my offer was not very far at all from the asking price.

Regardless of the exact offer I made, it's his to try to sell at whatever price he wants. I get that.

I'm more trying to figure out the logic, if any, behind having the Make An Offer option if you're only going to sell at the BIN price.

Perhaps it's a way to try to skirt some selling fees or some other rules?

setterguy most likly has it right,I do lots of contact the sellers when its make a offer.mANY TIMES mY OFFER WAS REFUSED CAUSE i WASNT THE HIGEST OFFER OOPS caps

Yeah, I understand that when you make an offer it may not be accepted. The seller replied very specifically and very clearly that only full price would be accepted, so he's not really taking offers as the Make An Offer option implies.

There are two options for selling, fixed price (with a checkbox for make an offer like putting obo in a online ad) or auction.

Just so I'm clear, the seller can choose to display, or not, the make an offer option on the fixed price listing?

The listing has "Buy It Now" and "Make An Offer" options

I do this exact thing for an e8ay store I run for a client, however in my listing details I specify "Offers entertained only for requests of multiple quantities."

FYI...Just wanted to throw that out there.

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
