    That seems to be a better idea to me, but does it work when you're deasling with EAs who mostly seem to do the mind games themselves, at worst not be drawn into it, but when EAs arent passing on offers, a vendor might see what the offers are and decide to make a move on one.
    There shoukd be more rapid transparency on offers made, ie any offers made should be able to be viewed by at least those in the process, not sure what system would have to be in place to ensure other bids were genuine.

    If the EA is trying to play games with you it's even less likely that they will be drawn in by anything you try with them. If you're dealing with an estate agent Who wont pass on your offers or is engaging on other similar carry on you have two choices, walk away or try and contact the seller directly. the seller might be delighted to hear from you or might tell you to eff off and talk to the EA. Either way arbitrarily withdrawing bids or lowering your offer isn't going to get you anywhere.

    It's kind of mad that such a legal obligation isn't common knowledge for people with an interest in the market!!

    update:
    i ended up withdrawing my bid as there was planning issues with the property that i uncovered after visiting the local planning office.

    property is still on at the same price 4 months on.
