Received offers, then a long wait

Last week I received two attractive offers for one of my articles. I immediately accepted them but have yet to see the article purchased. Is this common for it to take so long for a customer to make the purchase after making an offer for it? Any tips or suggestions welcome.

Hi,
A customer once made offers on four of my articles that I accepted but only bought two a few days later. They never bought the others. Hopefully yours will sell to the customer who made the offer but they don't have to purchase the articles just because you accepted the price.
Good luck!

Kind of like when you're selling a car for $12K and the "lookie loos" come out of the woodwork and ask you "Will you take $5000 for it?"

Boy - you sure have that right, Celeste. That's why I unchecked any Best Offer boxes I had checked. If I am willing to take a lower price then I will change the price now instead. Gives everyone a good deal!
