two-tier offer

See TWO-TIER OFFER. 3. A price at which one is ready to buy or sell; BID < she lowered her offer to $200 > . 4. ATTEMPT (2) <an offer to commit battery>. -offer, ub. - offeror, n. - offeree, n "Where criminal assault has been given this dual scope, a definition in terms of 'an attempt or offer' to commit a battery is assumed to represent both grounds. The word 'offer,' it is said, signifies a threat that places the other in reasonable apprehension of receiving an immediate battery. It would be a mistake, however, to assume that the word carried any such significance when it first appeared in the definition of this offense. In one of its meanings, 'offer' is a synonym of 'attempt.'" Rollin M. Perkins & Ronald N. Boyce, Criminal Law 163 (3d ed. 1982).
