Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG?
Chances are if you’re looking at an ad you already know what it went for when new but I still find it annoying / irritating at best and dishonest at worst. Moreover, it seems the trend is getting worse in terms of frequency and % of inflating original retail prices. In some cases, (where applicable), a seller’s response usually revolve something like, “well, that is the current price” , not acknowledging that current models often have upgrades that would account, at least partially, for the increase. Am I the only one that is bothered by this? Just curious.
@bigkidz +1. Im more pissed when they sell way about the book value. |
@audioman58 : +1 Agreed. 50% retail is my cut off as well for used gear.. Jeff |
In defense of those asking if you’re interested in buying the item…I find equally annoying public inquiries (very common on a motorcycle forum I’m on) with detailed and often accusatory questions along with requests for pictures, etc., once all hoops are jumped through, they disappear. I think there’s a segment that wants to show the world how smart they are by interrogating a seller and having them go through a myriad of gymnastics while never having the slightest interest in buying. Inflated list prices seem minor in comparison. |
