As a buyer, if I can save ANY money over retail on something in new condition, how is that not a win?

For me, there is a cost associated with the hassle and risk of dealing with some anonymous dingdong seller on the internet and a 5-10% discount over retail doesn't get me over that hump.

I've bought and sold a lot of stuff on here; 60-65% of retail, shipped TYD, is the price range I've found that gets items sold with the minimum amount of foolishness. And that's still assuming that it's an item people want.

There is notable 'average' pricing differences between several online buy/sell forums... for similar items

At the end of the day - places where you can buy cheaper, means when you want to sell something, you also have to list it cheaper.

Every once in a while, there are some smoking deals. Like the guy that sold 3 SWFA scopes in less than 10 mins.

People are free to ask what they would like, and people are free to offer what they like, but I always find it easier when selling to price things competitively for a fast sale. High asking prices lead to having to bump the listing, wading through offers, people flaking. You price things right and you have it sold same day and move on with life.

Same. My time is valuable. I recently got rid of a couple vehicles and a bunch of other stuff (not on here). All sold fast, most within 24hrs. Could I have gotten more out of every item? Certainly. I also didn’t haggle over any of it, and generally ended up selling to the first response. I take that back, there was an attempted haggle. Item listed for $20 (probably worth 75-100). Person shows up, asks if I’ll take 15. I say sure. They ask if I have change for a 20. I tell them to get the hell out of my driveway.

Again…less is less.
As others have also said, I’d rather give it away to someone I know than to make a lopsided deal on the interwebs with a ding dong buyer that I don’t know. So I get it.

I do pass on a fair amount of things when I see that the seller only wants paypal an such as payment

Asking price is not necessarily the sales price. Send a PM. Worst thing they can say is "No"

You pretty much have to ask for high prices. I can't remember the last time I tried to sell something and didn't get lowballed. Figure out what you want for it, then bump the price up so when you negotiate you and with what you wanted.

I started blocking lowballs, I don't even get back to them, just block them.

I do that when selling pickups, bikes an such. ..Most things on a forum, price is the price. Take it or leave it
