There are two ways to nab your perfect next phone. Make an offer for it, or snap it up now by choosing the ‘Buy Now’ price (if available).
How Buy Now works
- Use Buy Now to buy instantly at the lowest asking price
- This means you don’t have to make an offer or wait, just snap it up on the spot. Deal done.
How offers works
- You start by specifying the exact phone you want – then list an offer at the price you’re happy to pay.
- You can see all the other offers in play in ‘View all offers’ before you set your own offer
- …meanwhile, multiple sellers may be listing exactly that phone, and their asking price – the asking price they’re happy to sell it for
- To do a deal, you may need to up your offer. Or sellers may need to lower their price. It’s a market.
- Finally… when your offer and a seller’s asking price match: it’s a deal. They must sell to you, and you must buy from them.
A few notes
- You can tweak your offer up or down, or delete it. But not, of course, after it’s been accepted.
- If you miss one deal, don’t worry. Your offer stays in play, and the next phone could come up even seconds later.
- If another buyer matches your offer after you, you get the sale first.
- You can keep your offer active from 1-30 days.
- Not seeing the exact phone you want? Make an offer anyway and encourage sellers to offer one to sell. This is called ‘making a market’.
