Sure, why not? Or just go back to each bidder with a counter-offer.

You can, but neither will believe you. As said use the counter offer and take the highest.

Just make counter offers of what you actually want.

If you don't make any contact neither will blink, they'll just assume you're not interested.

Of course he is. He's also hoping his "max" will be enough to win you over.

His loss, not yours.

contacted the highest offer, he came up just £5 below of what I want to sell for, so the deal is done and I post today
