I want to make an offer but scared someone else will buy at full price in the meantime

I've had my eye on a certain signature bass listing for a couple of months now. Around 2 weeks ago, the seller dropped the price a bit and in that time the amount of people who have it on their saved list went from 2 to 5. While I can technically afford it, I still don't think it's worth that much and would like to offer a lower price. But I saw that people who have the item saved are notified when an offer is made and that they can buy it at full price while my offer is still pending. How likely is this, has anyone had this happen? Should I just buy it at full price? Maybe I'm being paranoid but I've never used Reverb before and I really don't want to miss out on this bass, it's only the 3rd one of its kind I've seen pop up in the last ~4 years and now is the first time I've been able to afford it.

For what it's worth, looking at the view count I'm the only person that's been looking at the listing since I saw the price drop.
