    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.

        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.
