Understandable but people like you are the problem. You are so petty you’d rather take a loss on the item than sell at a price that matches demand.

    Ha!!!! The issue is that people are not willing to pay the price that matches demand. You could list it for 20% of the going rate and still have people offer you pennies. This negging method has become a side hussle.

    The last 3 things I sold online all got sold in a day for roughly what I asked for, but for every good offer there are at least 10 of these scams. Its why I now use a local auction to dump unused stuff, I don't need the threats and bullshit.

    Uh... doesn't that just mean that the price doesn't match demand?

    No that is what you are missing, there is a bunch of people who do nothing but gaslight to get things for next to nothing then resell later.

    For example I sold a car last year for $1500, I could have maybe got more but eh that was fine. I know what the market price is more or less but I when I listed it I got about 50 offers under $100, keep in mind I could scrap it for $300.

    This is a scam that has come up from online listing, these people put bullshit offers in across many many listings and some even try to threaten and trick.

    Eh, doesn't matter in the end. Came back to check the thread and it turns out, the guy pacattack was replying to was lying anyway. Further down he admits that he only posted once and deleted it after the first bid.

    I don’t mean the low ball offers. I understand that is annoying. Just mean you essentially throwing the stuff away instead of just selling it for a lower price than you wanted.

    Edit: not you specifically. I realize you are not the original commenter

    You HAVE to leave room for someone to ask for it $20-50 cheaper, just the way it goes. They NEED that "deal"

    I used to list things rounded up a bit just for that. If I list something for $500 then I likely would take $400 for it. But when someone walks up to my house loads the thing in their truck and then knocks on my door and tries to force a $20 into my hand to buy the thing..... Yeah fuck that.
