We have listed a car on eBay tonight. We have had messages from 3 people asking what we would accept for a buy it now price with cash in hand for collection tomorrow. This seems weird. Three offers. Do you get oddballs making these offers. One asked for phone number. What do you reckon?
If you are getting 'best offer' emails then definitely let the auction run. People who think the auction may go higher than they can afford will often make a low offer with the sweetener 'its cash tomorrow. Also if you accept cash without the sale going through Ebay you have no protection if something goes wrong with the sale.
