A question about : Accept a buy it now?

I've put all the fabric bits from my maclaren buggy on eBay (frame has broken breaks but all fabric stuff is in good nick). I've seen previous similar items go for around Ј20, so thought it was worth ebaying. Someone has offered me Ј30 to buy now, which seems good considering similar stuff went for Ј20 however I have 36 watchers of my auction - should I take the offer or stick with the auction?

Best answers:

  • Stick with the auction.
  • Thanks, can I ask why you say that?
  • If you are happy with the price then I would accept the buy it now offer. It could go for more than Ј30 but it could go for less. Its a gamble but at least with the buy it now price that is money in the pocket. The watchers could all be people who have similar items to sell and looking to see how much yours go for. They could also people who forget to bid or just don't bother.
    If the item has bids already then you will not be able to add a buy it now price to the listing.
  • Likewise the bidders could forget to pay!
    I would take the offer if it's what you want, then don't look back.
