How to ask my question

[goodstudent]

I have an interested buyer, and I want to ask him what is the highest price that he would offer. How can I ask him in a correct way?

I thought of something like:

What is your highest price?

What is the highest price?

What is your highest offer?

What is your highest price for abc item?

What is your highest offer for abc item?

What is your highest price that you would pay?

What is your highest price that you would offer?

What is your highest price that you are willing pay?

What is your highest price that you are willing offer?

I am not sure if the sentences above are appropriate, or if there are any better ways of asking please let me know. Thanks

What's your best offer?
Make me your best offer.

Does "best offer" have the same meaning as "highest offer"? The buyer will understand that I am looking for the highest price when he sees "What's your best offer"?

Is it also right to say:
What's your highest offer?
Make me your highest offer.

If you're the seller and you say "What's your best offer?" or "What's your best price?" the buyer knows you're looking for the highest offer.

If you're the buyer and you ask the seller "What's your best price?" then the seller knows the buyer is looking for the lowest price the seller will accept.

There's nothing wrong with "What's your highest offer?" but it wouldn't be my first choice.

As the seller you would ask the buyer "What is your best offer?" He will understand that you are asking what is the highest price he is willing to pay. If the price he offers is much less than you are willing to accept then you reply with something like "Oh, I'm sorry, that's not even close to what I had in mind." or (if you are in the US) "Thanks, but you're not even in the ballpark." Usually that's when negotiations will begin....you can ask the buyer "Maybe we can meet half-way - how much are you willing to go up if I come down a bit?"

A lot of what you can say depends upon the scenario - what are you selling? Are you selling it on your behalf, or as a salesperson representing a company?

Thanks for the examples. It is helpful to me.
