I generally don't like "make an offer", unless the seller has already
stated an offer. If so,then I can decide whether what I want to pay is in
a range that they would discuss it.
Otherwise,it is usually futile to start a discussion.

eBay "make an offer" is actually a "counter-offer", since the seller has
already posted some sort of price. Those can be quite productive.
The ones that I don't like are ones (particularly flea-market) where the
seller refuses to give any indication of what they want, and demands that
the potential buyer make the first offer.
