Default CI's "Make Me An Offer"

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'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.

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 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

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.

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.

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.
