Hiya,

I've never made an offer for a cel on someone's 
website before yesterday.  I'm really anxious to 
hear SOMETHING from the prospective seller, who 
has offered to sell items on his gallery, but 
alas nothing yet :/
I even emailed a second time to raise my previous 
offer after considering it further...  so if I 
express interest in out-offering others, then it 
becomes like an auction.  I don't know if it's 
rude or misguided to think I can try and up my 
offer.  I truly offered what I think is fair and 
realistic (for the seller and for my poor lil 
bank account, which is suffering even as I type), 
but you never know how bad others might want the 
same cel...  and even though I might have to eat 
more instant noodles this month than I want to, I 
might be willing to grit my teeth and spend 
unbridled since it is a bit of a dream cel.  
So whaddya think?  Offer the absolute max, offer 
something fair, or is it ok to offer a fair and 
realistic price and ask that they'll get back to 
you once if you are surpassed by fellow hunters 
(honestly not just in order to beat the highest 
bidder by a few dollars)?

Thanks  ^_~
