Am I going crazy or?

I've been thinking about this for awhile now- I see many things for sale on agon. Some are reasonably priced, some priced to cheap ( those go quickly ) and some things priced for more than anyone will ever pay. I guess the folks that get me are those that over price, and refuse offers. I watch their adds go out after the 33 days. And then some list the add again at the same price. I find this interesting. I know I would not expect them to sell to a low baller. However I wonder why they can't take a hint. The worth of something for sale is determined not, by what the seller feels it is worth, but rather by what the market is willing to pay. And for sure we are now in a buyers market virtually on anything.

Kt_88, I really cannot understand how you can say 'makes me crazy'. Why do you take these ads so seriously? When I see ads like you have mentioned, I don't give them a second thought or consideration. I focus on the ads that interest me, not the ads that do not. Why be concerned if a seller isn't highly motivated? When I'm selling I also do not much worry about unmotivated buyers. It takes all kinds of folks to make the world go 'round, that's what makes life so interesting.

This is pretty simple; it’s the seller’s choice to ask for whatever he sees’s fit, if you think the price is to high then move on doesn’t get any simpler than that!
Allot of buyers think if you don’t give 50% then your asking to much, NOT ALL but there are some.
There are allot of different reason why a seller might have a higher price, condition, how old it is maybe extras that go with it or so on.
I think allot of times a buyer is expecting the seller to give it away, I wont.
Kt_88 says “And there are those that say “if no one will pay my price I will throw it in the closet!”
I won’t go that far but if I don’t get a reasonable offer I will put it away, I am not going to give it away just so I can sell it.
I will repost at a later date.
So my thought is if you think an item is too much$, make a RESONABLE offer if the buyer say’s no then move on it wasn’t for you.

This has been discussed to death.

There are real buyers and real sellers: those are the ones who actually set the price.

The others are not ready to act.

Some of the stuff I read in this thread is pure nonsense.

You could easily replace "Some of the stuff I read in this thread is pure nonsense" with

" Most of the stuff I read on this entire website is pure nonsense "

ditto! but then really what are people doing here anyway? Some have legitment questions aobut gear they want to buy, others are just passing time. The sad part is that most people that are the " sell it for gold " people don't bother reading the posts.

another thought- most of the stuff i hear people say in general is pur nonsense.

Pbb,

If you don't like the nonsense, you don't have to read.
