Br3098, too many of those points are slanted towards the buyer's favor. I've always felt the opposite was the way things should go. If the seller doesn't offer what I want for the price I want, so be it. But, I sure don't want to be pestered by someone making idiotic offers, and yes, I'd rather it didn't sell if I price I don't adhere to your sales preferences. I really don't care for haggling at all. Rarely have, rarely will.
It's time for a new button on Audiogon
Currently, when selling an item, one has three choices in the listing, buy it now, offer, offer and buy it now.
I prefer to vet my future trading partners, however my ads always say "price is firm". In the ad that I am currently running, for a most inexpensive piece of gear, I have had three offers, all well below asking price. I won't respond, as I have been clear in the body of the ad that the price is firm. In some way, this wastes the potential trading partner's time and mine. Why can't Audiogon add a "full price offer" button?
One would still get to vet potential buyers, buyers would understand that the only option is to make a full price offer, just as they do with the "buy it now" option, and those potential buyers that are uncomfortable with the preconditions would be smart enough not to respond at all.
It seems like this option would solve several problems.
