Manage offers and enquiries without losing control of the deal

A listing may receive very different types of messages: technical questions, simple availability checks, immediate offers or incomplete enquiries.

Reply politely and proportionately. If essential information is missing, ask for it. If an offer is far below your threshold, you can decline it without entering a long debate.

Do not continuously change your price and terms in response to every individual message.

Having already defined the value, minimum acceptable price and delivery methods makes it easier to remain consistent throughout the sale.
