HistoryJunky said:I always price a private sale 50 dollars more than I expect. I haven't had a single transaction where the buyer didn't try to talk me down that much or more.
And that is at a fair asking price. I don't mind cutting a small break in price, but I don't want to be ripped off either.
I do the same thing, and have had the same results. I have even listed items as "firm" and still get folks sending offers.
In the words of Rick Harrison from Pawn Stars "People can ask any price they want. That doesn't mean they'll get it."
