Best way to reply to “best price bruv” messages
Discussion
Whilst it can be amusing, the mere fact that so many of on here still receive these messages is clear evidence that none of the witty replies will get you any more/less hassle than a sensible reply would, nor does it stop them from everyone else.
Perhaps we need to demand eBay set a filter on any personal messages that involve as many permutations of "what is your best price?"
As such my experience is just to either ignore, or advise them to bid on the auction with whatever price they are comfortable paying.

I'm experiencing similar issues currently selling my car on eBay. Have had loads of offers about £1500 - £2000 below the asking price.
I've now just put in the ad that "I wont be accepting anything less then £xxxxx. If you can't afford to pay this then please don't waste my time."
Seems to be doing the trick so far - though I have only updated the ad last night!
HTH

it must occasionally pay off though I expect some may be flumoxed if you agree to their 50% of your already quite low price, they would probably get a bit suspicious as well.
Had one guy when I was selling my Mercedes CLS, he rang like five times over a week and told me about other, supposed cheaper ones, despite me knowing mine was the cheapest out there, he decided it was worth four grand as it probably needed work and it was high mileage etc etc, he seemed genuinely upset when I said I had sold it.
And whats all this "for cash", I prefer a bank transfer, then check its showing as funds in my account, dont want to be cocking about with wads of possibly counterfeit £20 notes.
