My guess is he meant as a seller, he would wait the 48 hours to see if he received a better offer from a different buyer before accepting (or at least responding to) the original offer from the 1st buyer.

I've done this a couple times, but usually when the offer came within a couple days of the listing, thinking I may have miscalculated the initial value.
