A counter-offer is virtually a partial rejection of the original offer and also a counter proposal initiated by the buyer or the offeree. The buyer may show disagreement to the price, or packing, or shipment and state his own terms instead. The effect of a counteroffer is that the original offer is no longer valid, and the offeree now becomes the offeror as the counteroffer becomes the new offer. This process can go on for many rounds until business is finalized or called off. £¨Ò»£©What does a counter-offer letter usually include? A letter of counter-offer should cover the following points: Thank the seller for his offer, mention briefly the content of the offer Express regret at inability to accept (give the reasons for non-acceptance) Make a counter-offer if, under the circumstances, it is appropriate Hope the counter-offer will be accepted and there may be an opportunity to do business together £¨¶þ£©Useful sentences Your price is out of line with the prevailing international market.
