Was just looking through DLRC`s inventory and saw a coin I really liked. Even with the 5% discount,
I clicked the make offer button, and entered my offer which was below the discount price. Did not expect to here back till Monday. It was not even two hours later got a repley, offer accepted!
DLRC ROCKS!!

From what I've read in previous messages, most reasonable offers have been accepted...

I wonder if you could've offered lower
Forget, for the moment, asking why they just don't offer it at the lower "offer" range....What on earth would be the motivation for the buyer to offer MORE than the minimum of the range??
accept your offer or come back with a counter offer. They too are very fast
and great people to deal with.

That's what always bugs me about these types of negotiations--you never really know how much money you have left on the table.
I had similar success with my one "make offer" transaction at DLRC.
I get a chuckle out of the Heritage "make an offer". It gives you an acceptable range.
Me, too. And the low end of the range always seems higher than one would reasonably pay for the coin. I have stopped looking at the Heritage Post-Auction Bargains™ altogether.
I think the motivation for offering more than the minimum would be beating out other offers which might come in. If I understood their description of the feature right, they accept offers for a certain window, and then sell to the best. So, whereas DLRC seems to be selling to the 'first acceptable offer,' HNAI is selling to the best. Basically auctioning the coin again, in essence.
HNAI's post-auction prices are usually ridiculous, from what I've seen. I pulled the trigger on one of their buy-now coins this evening, but only because I have a $50 certificate (given after a prior shipping fiasco about which I posted here before) which will pull the price into line with the value of the coin. From what I can tell it's a beautiful coin, but their asking price was pretty kooky.
