ebay etiquette question

bassie

Hi - Is it OK or not cool to contact a seller to see if s/he still has an item that ended a couple of months ago that didn't have any bids on it? I checked the seller's store and it's not listed. It's a long-shot, but I'd like to try as long as it's not a cheesy move.If it's OK to ask and it's still available, should I offer what it was posted at?Thank You-bassie

Go for it. It's worked for me a couple times in the past. Maybe offer a few extra bucks, depending on how much it was going for.

I've had success w/this as well. I offer to pay the minimum bid, but sometimes they ask for a little more.

Cool - thanks very much everyone!
Fingers-crossed.

I do it a lot. Usually they sell for the starting bid. That's really cool. It makes me so happy.
Bye.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the words
"ebay" and "etiquette" being used in the same sentence.
