Sellers: When do you drop your price?

Something is worth by definition what someone is willing to pay at some point in time in some place by non urgent buyers. The more efficient the market, the quicker and more consistently the price will be very repeatable regardless of buyer and seller. I.e the stock market (assuming everyone has the same information).
Estate sales when being sold to the public “as is” “no minimums” are not efficient; there are urgent sellers. When real estate is sold with no contingency, the price is lower as the seller is motivated to move quickly.

Sounds like Hilde got a good deal when she bought and a market deal when she sold. Econ 101.

And would it be so awful if hilde saw a great deal and did in fact purchase to resell at a profit and the new owner feels they got a great piece at a great price...

As long as she was honest about the condition, age, how many owners, how long she had it, etc., who cares if she made money on it or thought she could make money on it when she originally bought it?

she’s filling a market need. And taking a risk. What if she couldn’t get what she thought she could? 

Agree agree. Not to get too detailed about it, but I'm a he. Last time I checked. ;-)

it's my opinion and my moral approach to not sell something for more than I paid for it to a private party. All I said was that I disagree. Anyone can disagree with me, as well, it's called a discussion
