Offer / counter-offer? Audiogon rules


I am a seller. I receive an offer. I immediately counter-offer. The potential buyer declines it. Is the buyer still bound to his original offer for the orignal 48 hrs.?

Get ready. If you contact him again saying you’ll accept the original offer, 100$ says he offers less the second time. He’ll think you’re desperate. Good luck 
Fishing is a tough business.  It's a big ocean and fish can be hard to find.  Once you get one on the line, get him into the boat then you're done.  Let him get away and you don't know when the next one is going to come along, and it's just as likely as not that it will be smaller.

You have to ask yourself:
"Do I want a sale bad enough to accept an offer?
Or would I rather squeeze the lemon and possibly blow up any sale?"
Strictly either/or.

Nice fish story.
Agree with many above. If you decline an offer or decline and counter offer, the offer you received is gone. You declined it. No obligation exists on the buyers part and you have no right to it as a seller. Good luck.
