Should listings include the age of the item?


It looks like a lot of used items sell for 50% off list, but:

1) The age of the item is not included in the listing
2) The list price seems to be the current list price, not the price paid for the item

Let me know what you think. Would including the age make valuing on used equipment a little more accurate?

Most wolves are an endangered species, so being a flippant wolf isn't the wisest choice, lol.
In principal, I have nothing against "flippers" provided they respect and practice the ethical guidelines of the AG community. I try to exercise a lot of care in ensuring that a buyer is going to get what he wants. If someone just wants to flip, it makes things a lot easier for me. I don't need to worry about the piece being a good fit.
I don't think age should be listed or it matters. If shown easily you are giving buyers another bit of ammo to lowball you. To me age is a bit of factor but what if an item is old but sparingly used or then vice versa? It is only a couple of years old but heavily used? What then?
I believe there's a facility to ask sellers questions so if you want to know the age, color of their hair ... just ask.

IMO, "flippers" add liquidlity to the market so it's a good thing.
Since we are all giving what 'we think'. This is what I think. I think Buconero117 is close to right, just a little to generous to the seller. Take that you flagrant flippers and flappers. I usually don't care about the color of the item but sometimes I would like to know what some of these people are smoking or drinking or what planet they came from or what dimension they are in. So we get this-'It looks perfect, no swirl marks, so I rate it's sound quality a 10 out of 10. The reason I marked it down 5% from 10% over list price. Hurry and get this it will be a fast mover.'
