Ha!!! The issue is that people are not willing to pay the price that matches demand. You could list it for 20% of the going rate and still have people offer you pennies. This negging method has become a side hussle.

The last 3 things I sold online all got sold in a day for roughly what I asked for, but for every good offer there are at least 10 of these scams. Its why I now use a local auction to dump unused stuff, I don’t need the threats and bullshit.

Uh… doesn’t that just mean that the price doesn’t match demand?

  No that is what you are missing, there is a bunch of people who do nothing but gaslight to get things for next to nothing then resell later.
  
  For example I sold a car last year for $1500, I could have maybe got more but eh that was fine. I know what the market price is more or less but I when I listed it I got about 50 offers under $100, keep in mind I could scrap it for $300.
  
  This is a scam that has come up from online listing, these people put bullshit offers in across many many listings and some even try to threaten and trick.

I don’t mean the low ball offers. I understand that is annoying. Just mean you essentially throwing the stuff away instead of just selling it for a lower price than you wanted.

  You HAVE to leave room for someone to ask for it $20 cheaper, just the way it goes.

    I used to list things rounded up a bit just for that. If I list something for $500 then I likely would take $400 for it. But when someone walks up to my house loads the thing in their truck and then knocks on my door and tries to force a $20 into my hand to buy the thing… Yeah fuck that.
