For a buy-now item you may ask the seller via the q&a on the item if they will amend the price but the seller should not remove the item but may amend the price if they feel fit. This price amendment is then open to all bidders and is not binding to the user requesting the price change. If in doubt us the contact us page.

• When responding to a "want" please note the duration of the want as you will be committing the item to this full duration (it may be sooner but not guaranteed), people listing wants should note that a long duration may put people off as they will have to commit for this long period of time.
• When listing an item in the Auction format, please note that the optional Buy Now value is not a reserve value, if an auction item with the buy now option receives a bid over the set reserve (if any) the buy-now option will no longer be available and the lot will run solely in the auction format from that bid onwards. For a pure Buy-Now listing please choose this option over the Auction option on the opening sell page. (Please contact us if unsure!) 
• Not abiding by these Terms and Conditions could lead to your account being suspended for a time deemed fit by the www.wisdenauction.com team.
