If you're offloading electronics that are going to ewaste center why not accept a $20 offer? Im genuinely interested because i often bid 5-20 on things i consider e waste and people reject it and continue trying to sell it for $100

    I was already deeply discounting. I also give hardware away to friends and family (my old Synology NAS just got a new home with a friend). But for strangers to underbid so hard is fucking insulting. I am generous. I am not someone of which to take advantage.

    But if noone is buying it for a price higher than the low ball offers, maybe those aren't low ball offers?

    I'm pretty sick of people treating this like I'm harming myself or the market by refusing to let strangers take advantage of me. Get fucked.

    How in the world would anyone know that!? I'm in IT, use Linux, etc, and still have absolutely no idea what that Synology NAS is worth. Uninformed people are probably even worse, especially for older electronics.

    Choosing to be insulted because someone didn't bid what you think they should have when there's such a huge variance is wild to me...
