As of today, the Make an Offer feature is live on select items that most people probably won't be interested in buying, such as a 1863 document with Abraham Lincoln's signature (asking price: $150,000 USD). As you can see below, the feature itself is shown where you could otherwise purchase the item and simply involves putting in your own offer amount.
Make an Offer will be showing up on "hundreds of thousands" of products some time next year, however. When used, a seller will have 72 hours to accept, counter-offer, or outright reject the offer. If a counter-offer is made, the buyer then also has 72 hours to decide how he or she wants to proceed.
This joins a roster of other news from the company in recent weeks, including its rumored Amazon Prime Now bike delivery service reportedly being tested in New York. Under that, according to sources, customers would have their products delivered within an hour through a bike courier service. Check out the timeline below for other Amazon news.
