setting up an auction for 1 particular buyer

I have a buyer who has made an offer on 3 items and I would like it set up so only she can bid. Is this possible.

thank you

Probably we are looking at a different buyer base. I think I would have more difficulty explaining that something we had agreed as being $100? was being advertised for $600 (of course, Make an Offer!)

 

Frankly I wouldn’t see why anyone would buy something with no information in the title, none in the description and one uninformative photo (which is how I list it) – but if it happened the sale could just be cancelled.

 

As for the prospective buyer being “away” for a few days, I always stipulate that the listing is only live for 48 hours, if not bought in that time I will assume the buyer has changed their mind, which is of course perfectly fine. I have always found that if they are keen enough to keep in touch while the process is explained to them, they will buy almost immediately.

It would be frustrating if there were a gazumping scallywag waiting in the wings.

LOL - what ' gazumping scallywag ' would want all three random items.

A very random gazumping scallywag…? Junior scallywag not back at school and looking for mischief? 😁
