"I have come to the conclusion that it's a cultural thing"
I guess that is a way to be politically correct.

What's up with the ridiculous offers?!?
Is it just me or are the high volume of low-ball offers surprising anyone else?
Example: I list an item at 60% off what a current, desirable component sold for new, and I get an offer for half (or less) of what I am asking! I've have been buying and selling high end audio & video gear for over 40 years and I know the value of gear, but I have never experienced such an destructive trend. I expect it from Craigslst or at a garage sale, but not from Audiogon.
I understand an occasional low offer, and it's usually accompanied with an explanation or apology for the balz it takes to make such an offer, but I am getting absolutely offensive offers for more than 75% of what I list.
Are there any other sellers that would like to commiserate with me? Am I missing something? Is it just me?

negotiation stars the moment you list something for saleIs this a new feature in Agon? Listing AUTOMATICALLY negotiates by itself once listed? schubert2,777 posts01-25-2016 10:28amWhats something worth ? What someone else will give you . I think this is the 1st time we agreed ... what someone else, a BUYER, will give you. Only STUPID sellers negotiate with him or herself. |
