A seller asking way too much for their item? Perish the thought!
Seriously, that's par for the course. Most people have an inflated opinion of the value of their item.
The litmus test is if it sits there for months and months unsold. Good deals don't last, and really, you never even see most of them.
Just keep looking. You'll find a suitable deal sooner or later. Keep money in your pocket and your eyes open so you're ready to pounce the second you see a good deal.
^^^ yep
Sold a sled to a Canadian awhile back. Few hours later, got a call from the border patrol. They had yanked him in and were questioning the 'sale'. Officer asked me if I had sold a sled and at what price. When I responded, he said he didn't believe us because he was on Craigslist looking at other sleds, and they were all 'priced higher'
LOL, I asked him if he knew what the difference was between mine and the ones listed? "no" .... Answer... "mine sold". I hung up.
It really isn't rocket science. Knowing your market and putting the effort in is the only way one gets consistent payoff.
