[MOPO] Heritage Make an offer
Hi Jim I know your original email was sent by mistake but I think MoPoers would be interested in the new Heritage Make an Offer system. At the moment it only seems to apply to higher value material over a certain amount but there are many items which have slipped through the net over the years and sold for quite low prices which would attract significant offers now. I guess it might not be practical to allow offers on all items but maybe Grey could comment on that.

Re: [MOPO] Heritage Make an offer
John, I am sorry that I am not as conversant on the MOTO (Make Offer to Owner) program yet, but will try and get up to speed on the price points at which it is automatically applied to a poster and can get back with that. I know that the buyer can go in and request the feature on items above a certain price they have purchased and also put in a But-It-Now price on the items they have purchased through us. I have seen some of that going on and the purchases being made. As you and I know, as we had an instance of late where you asked me if an item might be available and I was able to acquire the item for you from the buyer, but that really isn't practical for me on a wide scale. I am happy that this is available as I have had many, many requests over the years from people wanting to make offers to the buyers to acquire items they missed in auction. Will let you know the details soon. Merry Christmas!!
