Is it OK to make an offer, by Octopus UK on Aug 19, 2008 22:40:12 GMT 1, A gallery close to me has a Peter Blake print I'd like to own. The price is ยฃ750. Would it be acceptable to make the gallery an offer for the print which is below this price, say between ยฃ650/ยฃ700?

Is it OK to make an offer, by Coach on Aug 19, 2008 22:43:06 GMT 1, Yes - why on earth not - they can only say yes or no. I think it's a very good idea to make an offer, rather than pay the asking price without question.

you won't be the first one! if you make a sensible offer the will take you serious, can't say if they will agree ofcourse but it isn't that strange..

Good luck
