Unless something is priced low I make offers all the time and on just about everything. The only thing I expect is a polite response, if there is a response. If we can come to an agreement, great. If not, it's no problem with me. Every dollar I can save on a piece is a dollar towards the next item. With that being said, if what I'd offer is not within say 15% of the original asking price, I don't even bother and just move on.
As far as eBay is concerned. When I do list there I have zero issues with people making offers as it takes less than 30 seconds to respond to a reasonable offer, and 1 second to ignore a ridiculous lowball offer.
