Can buyer accept original offer after declining counter offer?

Can buyer accept original offer after declining counter offer?  I have a buyer who sent me a pretty lowball offer.  I countered with a decent counter offer.   Then buyer counters my offer by upping the original low ball offer by a whopping $1.  I am going to decline the offer but am curious whether buyer can still accept my original offer.

If you decline, I'm pretty sure the prior offer is no longer valid and they have to make a new offer if they still want to make an offer and haven't gone over the allowed offer attempts (5 I think).

No. When either party counter offers it takes the previous offer off the table.

If the buyer rejects the seller's counter offer, can seller still accept buyer's original offer?

To quote 2 posts above yours @gknyc :

As above: no. And I would let that silly $1-increase bid time out with no response.

 

I don't know what that buyer's Feedback looks like (especially including his Feedback Left for Others), but he seems like a future headache anyway.
