Any offer within 10% off I'll consider, but I'm going to select "ignore" instead of politely saying no to any new cheapskate "offers".

 

[Abe Froman]

89% and that's my final offer.

It’s not just newbs, sell enough stuff online and you’re going to deal with mouth breathers and skinflints testing the waters of your desperation.

I’ve had similar issues with green members.

Yeah those newbies are annoying but I'll also be the first person to say that when I see some of these ads I'm pretty sure the sellers are smoking crack or something some of the prices are actually worse than new retail most people don't want to play unless they're going to save at least a hundred bucks over just walking into a gun shop

It's not just the newbies. Some of my quickest and easiest sales were to people that just signed up to make the purchase. I've been hit with 4 or 5 what I would consider low ball offers and all came from well established members.

Oh, by the way, to the sellers. If you have to bump something 10 or 20 times, and your ad is 1-3 years old, it might, just might, be priced wrong. Or you're smoking crack like @drgrant said....

You should have taken it, those boots are only worth $5.67

 

[kalash]

True, but OP's listings are the rare exceptions with reasonable prices.

He's still willing to go to $18 on the laminate trimmer

 

[Wickedcoolname]

Just bump it 75 times. It'll sell eventually.
It also helps your ad stand out if you put the dollar sign on the right.

What's with all these posts lately! First it's "Oh dear me, FFL's are posting in Classifieds!", now we're on "Oh dear me, people are challenging my overpriced guns!".

Pick a lane people!

 

[chris_1001]

I sold a gun to a newbie last sat. Was here for a month. No posts no feedback.

texted beforehand and the deal went really well (he was just a bit late).

Have him pos feedback

Have another potential sale this sat. Same. Newb with no posts or feedback.

Seems legit.

And nope. In neither case am I discounting.

Scams and shitty buyers are easy to spot.

It happens. Be smart

 

[VigilantesLiberi]

Your old airsoft rifles are only worth as much as someone will pay for them.

 

[240Geezer]

If I want something here I'm willing to pay the ask. On things I was interested in but thought were overpriced I offered slightly lower, like 10% and was rebuked.
Blackmore seems to be reasonable in his pricing. Others not so much.

He does seem reasonable. I went checking expecting crazy prices. Around here if he wrote a free ad they would want him to pay to take it.

If you ask for tracking too much for starters

He was late. I should have fired him!!

Wait for him to show up and just say we're done here and leave

He actually offered $10 for compensation. I thought that was nice. But I declined it, shit happens.

How long were you waiting

 

[chris_1001]

~40 min.

He called and was super apologetic. I met him half way to make up the time. I was not on a time table.

Ironically he wanted to do the meet an hour earlier, then was late… lol.

Got full price.

All good.

Don’t waste your time even responding to stupid questions and way off ‘offers’.
Those people never intended to buy nothing. eBay is the same way.

What percentage was the "insulting low ball" at?

Maybe it is the same long time member with new burner accounts each time. He might be attempting to grind you down to a reasonable price, $20 for used Ryobi laminate trimmer is just too damn much!

I’ve ignored a bunch of messages.

I’m under no obligation to interact with people who are going to be insulting or problematic.
