Help Me Decide - End Auction Early??
Someone sent me an email offering me $350 for the Christian Louboutin flats if I end the auction early and sell them to him Buy It Now through eBay. He says it's his sister's birthday on May 20th (he's in Japan) and would like to get them before then. He's willing to pay for expedited shipping.
The item has 6 watchers and is getting lots of traffic. My guy feeling is that they will sell for about $400 but I can't be sure, of course. Thoughts??
I would take the $350 however be very careful in selling these overseas. Tell them they HAVE to pay for delivery confirmation which would be either through the international priority or expedited shipping. if you don't get delivery confirmation they can easily say they did not get them and you would be SOL and out of $350. However if you feel these could go for $400 then ride it out and see.
I'm not very risk averse, I'll ship anything anywhere, but only with delivery confirmation. I told the guy I wouldn't end the auction but I'd put in a Buy It Now price of $400, he never heard from him again. C'est la vie!

What did you decide? I would have said no to an international bidder.
