The Cheek!

I found a new auxiliary light on ebay for buy it now £199 or make an offer and being a tight yorkshireman I decided to make an offer!
Stuck it as £150 expecting it to get declined then creep up from there
They declined it alright and then edited the advert and put the price up by £16
Decided not to bother and I will go elsewhere now!

Dunno why some even bother to post 'make offer' when they have no intention of coming down on the price.

Had the same happen to me. "make an offer" asked the seller what offer they would take and they wouldn't sell the item unless it was £1 under the asking price. Told them where to go. They relisted the item 5 times and each time the postage went up.

I'm also the sort of person that would sooner replace both the lights for the newer nano version and a replacement loom at a total cost of about £450 than now give any money to someone who raises prices like that!

I’ve come across this many times, even had one person block my any counter offer
, why they add make offer is beyond me!.
I don’t use my dip lights for fear of blowing them and tackling a bulb change and I’m £££ conscious of using the aux lights

Changed my lights for Cyclops LED's yesterday on my R1250RT. 20 minutes to fit the bulbs and ballast, 5 - 6 hours to remove/fit everything that needed to come off so I could do it.
