The selling strategy on eBay that involves listing an item as buy-it-now or best offer is pretty clever when you think about it. Essentially, it lets the element of haggling come into the eBay marketplace and who doesn't love to do some horse swapping when it comes to your collection? In the case of the German items that I've featured below the best offer sealed the deal. So how much of a discount can you get the seller to give you? Well according to my math these five items sold for an average of 71% of the stated BIN price. The lowest any of them sold was for 60% of the asking price and the highest was 84%. So the next time you see the option to buy-it-now or best offer take my advice and ask for a 25% discount and more than likely you will have a deal. Click on these to see what they eventually sold for.
