i never get why people are so "AFRAID" of sellers, or of offending someone...it's only cardboard people...be polite, but no need to tip-toe around.
to answer your question, IF there are any bids, don't ask.
IF there are NO bids yet, ask "hello, since there are no bids on your auction yet, would you consider selling this at 'x' price BIN?"
