Accept the Offer or Wait? Seller Decision Guide
A decision guide for comparing buyer offers against time, cash flow, margin, and stale inventory risk.
The real question
The question is not whether the offer is lower than list price. The question is whether the offer clears your minimum profit and whether waiting is likely to produce a better outcome after time and fees.
- Minimum net profit
- Inventory age
- Demand and watcher activity
- Replacement inventory options
When accepting makes sense
Accepting can make sense when inventory is stale, cash is needed, the item is easy to replace, or demand is clearly soft.
When waiting makes sense
Waiting can make sense when supply is limited, comps support the price, holding cost is low, or discounting would train buyers to wait.
