还盘是受盘人对发盘提出的条件不完全同意而提出添加、限制或其它更改的表示。还盘把当人的关系颠倒了过来，因还盘实质上是受盘人对发盘拒绝后， 以发盘人的身份作出的一项新发盘。一项发盘经还盘后， 还盘人（原受盘人）就成为这项新发盘的受盘人。 原发盘的效力经还盘后终止。还盘函电的拟制，必须按照有关规则进行， 否则，就构不成一项新的有效发盘。

谢谢你们对标题下的自行车报价的来信。
我们虽然赞赏你们自行车的质量，但价格太高不能接受请参阅89SP-754号销售确认书，按此销售书我方订购了相同牌号的自行车1000辆， 但价格比你方现报价格低10%，自从上次订购以来，原材料价格跌落很多， 这里你们自行的零售价也下跌了5%。接受你方现时的报价意味道着我们将有巨大亏损，更不用谈利润了。
然而如果你们至少降价1.5%，我们非常愿意向你方续订。否则， 我们只能转向其他供应者提出类似需求。
我们希望你们认真考虑我方建议， 并及早答复我方。
