Hi Pete, pretty sure Ebay tells you that when you put in an offer.

Not havin a pop or anything, but why would a buyer want a "2nd chance" to accept the offer, that the buyer has offered? Surely you make the offer as that what you want to pay?

WANTED: ANY GRETSCH RENOWN DRUMS/KITS IN SILVER OYSTER PEARL.

Yes, if you make an offer and they accept you are bound by it

Yes in hindsight you are right but because my previous offers have never been accepted i was not sure of the arrangment.i acually thought you received an email saying your offer has been considered and you can buy it if you like at the agreed price.
No worries though i am happy
Thanks

I only know because I goty caught out myself. I needed a cymbal stand quickly and put in an offer on 3 cymbal stands. All of them were accepted and I had to fork out for them all!

Martin, it depends how the seller has set up their auction. In this case I think it was £55 or offers? So they can set up the auction to automatically accept any offer of say, £40 or over. Decline any offer below say, £30, and anything inbetween they can have a think about and then mail you to either accept, refuse or send a counter offer. You've obviously offered more than their minimum threshold. Nice buy that at £40... shame the rest was sold separately.

At first I though "What is that abomination on the top?" - nice that he put it in the vent hole.

It reminds me of Men In Black...

Bug : Place your projectile weapon on the ground.
Edgar : You can have my gun...when you pry it from my cold dead fingers.
Bug : Your proposal is acceptable.

Mind you I'd be happy with that deal...the last one I saw in this neck of the wood sold for over triple that in no better condition. I've have some 70's Prem mahogany toms begging for a bass drum...
