Pretty sure that if you don't withdraw them, your offers are active for 48 hours.

From the counter email...

If you do not respond to the counteroffer, your current bid will remain active for 5 days from the date and time of your initial bid. During this period, the seller can still accept or decline your bid. Thank you for using ComicLink! More vintage comic books are listed every day, so for the best deals, bookmark the website and check back frequently! And, if you like our service, tell a friend - the more people know about ComicLink, the more great items there will be to choose from! : )

@namisgr That's from a recent email where I had made an offer there.

When it comes to CLink, I usually do most of my buying through auction.  However there was a book on my bucket list that suddenly appeared on the Exchange. 

• The buyer was asking $1300
• I offered $650
• That was denied. 
• I offered $725.
• The buyer countered at $900 at 6:PM that day.  I noticed the email at work in the middle of the next day. 
• Next thing I know, my $725 offer was accepted even though the seller had made a counteroffer of $900.

Is this normal?  I thought if the seller counters that they have rejected the offer price.  During the interim I picked up something else, somewhere else.  I am definitely taking the CLink book but something seems strange about this.  

EDIT: I was under the impression that once a seller counters with a new price that the $725 is a dead deal.  So therefore he cannot go back and reconsider the $725 price after his counter of $900 was made. 

All I can say is be thankful that the Seller is Responding at all. My only experience with the exchange is the Seller not responding, even when attempting the ‘buy it’ price.
