eBay Best Offers: Is offering 75% of the list price considered ok?

[NewJeffCT]

I saw a couple of items from one seller that I liked that were $49.95 each, or essentially $100 for the two items.

If I do a "Best Offer" for $37.50 each (or $75 total) am I insulting the seller at all?

1. Not really.

Offer what you think the items are worth. If the seller doesn't accept the offer, that's the way it goes. If nobody offers more, you might expect an email at the end of the auction taking you up on your offer. In the end, it's just a business transaction, and not a place to worry about hurt feelings.

2. Thanks

I was thinking of buying 2 or 3 items from this one seller, so maybe he or she will take decent discount.
