A few weeks ago I saw something listed as an auction with a start
price of Ł75 or offer. With two days to go and no bids I offered Ł50,
only for the seller to counter with Ł70. So the item went unsold.
Just checked to see if it had been relisted, which it has. So I wonder
why the seller now thinks he might get Ł95.

You never know. Sometimes you do. All you need is the right buyer to
come along.

He might get lucky but I doubt it. I wonder if he'll still accepted an
offer of £70?
