I'm not sure what the big deal is.  "Or best offer" is a common expression
in car ads, often abbreviated "OBO".  It's basically shorthand for "the
price is negotiable."  It's not some kind of ripoff scheme.
See, I knew this was going to get out of hand. AS I said before they are both
right depending on what side your on.

Here's my nasty experience yesterday: I answer the guy's ad on the local
craigslist for an enclosed trailer (yeah i still don't have enough vehicles). I
agree to drive an hour to fecth it. Just as I was leaving the guy emails and
says he just took a deposit in the trailer but he will dump the first buyer if I
come with a little more cash. Yeah I did -- in the land on NOT.

I said thanks but no thanks. There will always be another for sale. Lots of
best offers where the seller changes the price as he goes along. That's what
Eric is probably gripping about.

Hey John just said $600. Sounds good to me.
