Seller should know the market value of what he is selling, or he should run straight auctions. And the buyer should know what things are worth, or should not be buying. Sometimes a seller is wrong, realizes it after an item gathers dust, and should then lower his price or take them to a show where overhead is lower.

You obviously know your product's value, and want to offer a range, which makes complete sense. But I've personally found 'best offer' to be a waste of time, precisely because of what you just described. After the customer uses up his 3 offers trying to find your bottom-line, he then comes back and asks you for it
