Comment on what

The funny thing is that you think everyone else is the problem when zero legit offers means its virtually certain your asking price was nonsense.

People with used obsolete goods often have expectations of value pegged to what they originally paid for it rather than what it’s worth.

Search your own or similar good on markets to see what other people are paying for similar or better goods.

Is Amazon selling something for 20 similar to what you paid 50 for 5 years ago? Shipped to your door tomorrow for free? Well then nobody is driving an hour out to your place next Tues to pay you 25.

There’s a lot of people that think 95% of what they paid is a good discount.

If you actually want to sell something mark it at 50% of retail, because that’s the area most things are worth.

  I’m downsizing and have a lot of stuff in marketplaces. I generally price at about 50%, plus 10-15% for haggling. I won’t go lower. When someone lowballs, I don’t waste a minute replying.

Fuck you. I didn’t leave my goods up for a week and only get shitty bids. I stopped posting when the first bid on day one was insulting. You don’t know shit.

  Then every offer was like this screenshot. I gave up and now I environmentally recycle perfectly good gear that someone could have enjoyed.

  Were you lying then or were you lying now?
