Hi Mark,
Thanks for your offers.
The person making the offer will be notified of the status (answer, no answer, acceptance, decline, etc). Our goal is within 72 hours. As I alluded to in my first post, there is definitely a backlog due to the massive number of offers coming in (one person has submitted nearly 50 himself). Each one is processed manually. I'm going to look into your offers myself and follow up with the status offline for you.
We have had a few instances where the owner of the item has countered, which has worked well. What we are encountering a lot is collectors who are happy to hold their items, so there's not much negotiating.
One thing to reiterate while we're discussing this is that we encourage collectors to lead with their best offer for the highest chance of success, and in all situations, we will only approach a buyer with an offer that exceeds what they paid for the item at auction.
We appreciate all the interest in the program, we thank everyone for their patience, and we promise to continue to work on it and perfect it.
Brian
