My problem is when reading the for sale ads, the would be purchaser doesn’t seem to comprehend what they are reading. When I post that the price is firm and I get offers all over the place for much less, it makes me wonder if these people can actually read.
I posted a pair of speakers for sale and others were asking between $2800-3000.00. I very aggressively put my price at $2000.00 with local pick up only as the boxes were so big that shipping was in The $700-800 range. If the person wanted them shipped, they would have to make the arrangements. I was astounded when I was offered $1100.00 for the speakers and the person wanted me to pay the shipping from Rhode Island to SanJose, Ca. Shipping was a little over $800 so I would have reaped $300 before PayPal fees.
I pulled the ad and sold it locally instead at my asking price. So, don’t just blame the sellers, the buyers are a very unique bunch.
