    Sick of making "rubber" offers

    Hi all. We've been trying to buy an IP for a while now, but it seems that every time we find the "perfect" IP and place an offer, the agents bounce our offer off several other interested parties (then bounce their higher offers off us), resulting in a mini-auction and us missing out on the...
