Suppose you have a good aluminum baseball bat already, but want a wooden one in good shape. You’re not willing to pay a lot, but on the other hand you’d be grateful if someone accepted $25 for your favorite model. You know they normally go for $75 used, but why not make an offer just in case no one bids?
If you bid early in the auction, all you do is attract undesirable attention to the item and get the bidding process off to a healthy start, which is great for the seller and an invitation to disaster for you. So place your unreasonably low offer using eSnipe. Because eSnipe doesn’t charge unless you actually win the auction, you come out smelling like roses either way: get a great deal you didn’t expect to win, or save your money until the next time you can make a crazy lowball offer.
OK – I’m not quite sure if I totally understand. Is this for auctions that have a Buy Now or Make an Offer listing? Or is it just for regular staight auctions? Just curious. Thanks!
@Paula: I mean for regular straight auctions.

“accepting only electronic payment as of July 15, 2009.”
Does this mean electronic payment through paypal only, or will you still accept credit cards through a merchant account?
@Ray, we’ll definitely be accepting credit cards through a merchant account (Bank of America or PayPal).
Cheers,
