CI's "Make Me An Offer"

05-13-2009, 12:45 PM

Anyone have experience using CI's make me an offer? I was just wondering what kind of discount to expect and what kind of offers they will accept.

Just wondering if anyone is getting a deal. Thanks

I am curious about this as well...how good of a deal???/

TripleF · 05-13-2009, 12:52 PM

I've scored a couple times on MMAO.

I've won while usually offering half price.
Won 2 10 packs of RP Sun Grown Toro's, on 2 different occassions for an offer of $30.00.
Also won a 10er of Sol Subano SUmatra's for $19.00

Seems half of the suggested retail for an offer has worked in my limited experience

Found this to be hit or miss. Start low, then go up a bit. Also good to double-check what the item sells for normally. You CAN get some decent deals here.

have tried a couple times with lower offers w/o success

I have tried about 50% two times with no success...just depends on how bad they need to move it I guess. Good thing is it never hurts to try

I've gotten a couple of great deals on there, but like others are saying it's hit and miss.

I've found I can get much better deals on everything that is in the MMAO on the devil site. For the price of a quick buy on the devil site I've been denied more than once on MMAO.

Just something to look at before your next offer

That has been my experience, too!

eber · 05-13-2009, 04:16 PM

I have tried it a couple times a while ago without any success

boonedoggle · 05-13-2009, 04:50 PM

yeah, it's a marketing gimic for the most part.

Tredegar · 05-13-2009, 07:45 PM

I have purchased a couple of lots from here, but these were only for items that were not on CBid. I felt that I did get a few nice deals but nothing spectacular.

Just picked up a couple of bundles on this. Saved a few bucks but nothing outstanding. Then again, a few bucks is a few bucks.

BigCat · 05-14-2009, 10:41 AM

I just offered 18 bucks for a box of Cusano C10 (10 pk) and was shot down as "cold". No surprise there, but the MSRP was only $60, so I thought it was worth a shot.

Never won any on make offer, but I'm cheap.

I made them an offer of two 40's of OE800 and a bag of Doritos for some Opus X's.

SteveR sent me an email back telling me that if I wanted some Arganese, then maybe he could do something with that offer.
