Sellers: When do you drop your price?

Selling my first piece of gear.  I've had a lot of views but no offers. It's been about 5 days. Great condition, 2 years old, offering about about 1/3rd off. No original box.

Perhaps all gear is particular, so if that's so, we can end this thread right here. But in case there's a general bit of advice, How long do you let an ad marinate before adjusting the price?

Thank you for the explanation, gano. Someone with enough money bought my amplifier. Would it help you to know that I contribute more than the difference in price to charitable causes? Such as food banks and homeless organizations? I would say that from an ethical perspective, the money is doing much more good than it could for an audiophile. 
I still think the reasons about a fair and honest exchange are sufficient, but since you raised the ethical dimension, I addressed it.

You made a profit on a sale? Shame on you! You should be taken down to the village square and publicly flogged!

Who is this man that made a profit on used gear? I want to be in his presence and absorb some of that aura. Enjoy the music

And just to be absolutely clear about what a non-genius I am, after fees, additional shipping I paid (to expedite to the buyer and make sure it was professionally double-boxed), I probably cleared $75. If I had priced it at what I bought it, I would have lost about $102. This is all marginal, piddly amounts. There are zero issues here. Cheers everyone. "Enjoy the music." Good advice, thanks.
