Best Offer Question

[x2drich2000]

Honest question since obviously at least some people feel fine taking the lower offer on ebay, but what about here on the BST? Should the highest/first offer always be the one taken?

No. There are no authoritarian rules applied. The deal is not confirmed until the seller decides to sell. Their reasons for selling or not may be arbitrary, but it is still their item until it is agreed upon by both sides.

Once it is agreed to by both sides, though, I do believe that a higher offer shouldn't be allowed to take the item from the original buyer. When I have encountered this I just passed the information on to the buyer in case they wanted to flip for a quick profit.
