Buddy.... your a classic.   What does the $50 mean then?  If you
get an offer, of $56.34 , and its your highest.... right now..(best
offer), by your own statement, you should be held to that. 
   WHEN ARE PEOPLE GOING TO LEARN! OBO has to have a time limitation
on it!!!!!!! An at that time your highest offer is the one you are
held to. How you do that, can, and should, only be done by sealed bid,
so everone has a fare chance. Otherwise the last person who talks to you,
 and you reveal what your best offer is, has the best shot at this.
This OBO is really crap, unless you call up everyone interested, and tell
them your highest bid. You have to do this over and over until, only one
persons bid is revealed to everyone, and is the highest, and not out bid.
