Members alistarr* Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 sellers decide the amount for which they'd be willing to part with an item and offer it at that price. if you don't like the price and the seller won't accept a lower offer, don't buy the item. it's not like anyone's forcing you to do anything.

Members echodeluxe Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 "I'll trade you a tunamelt tremolo and $50 for a superfuzz!" in all fairness, the tunamelt is a great pedal. but a $20 pedal + $50 DOES NOT = superfuzz ($150 plus tax and shipping) COME ON PEOPLE. and that was a serious message someone sent me. i lol'd.

Phil O'Keefe Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 I guess its unamerican to point them out in the spam thread, so here I am. No, not un-American, but it would be clogging up the spam thread with OT stuff, and I have been discouraging that... sellers decide the amount for which they'd be willing to part with an item and offer it at that price. if you don't like the price and the seller won't accept a lower offer, don't buy the item. it's not like anyone's forcing you to do anything. True. Of course, as echodeluxe pointed out, if the prices are set too high, and they're not willing to negotiate, then their items probably won't sell. If you're a potential buyer and think something is overpriced, and you can't negotiate a mutually agreeable price, I suggest you move along and look elsewhere. If you're a seller and your item isn't selling after a couple of weeks, you might want to reconsider your terms. Simple really. Neither side has to "do" anything - you can ask what you want, or refuse a deal if you want, or even laugh and think "they're out of their mind if they think they'll get $400 for a Tuna Melt". I fail to see any cause for drama here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 I just figure that the SPAM thread works a bit like Craigslist - the prices begin high with the understanding that it will be negotiated down. Crxshdxmmy was irritated when I tried to trade my RV-3 for a Vexter Fuzz Factory saying that it was an unfair trade. Perhaps and perhaps not, but if someone wanted an RV-3, and didn't want their Vexter, they might PM me and ask to trade plus $15. I probably would have gone for it. Finding the match-up is one thing we can do on the SPAM thread that we can't do on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members veil Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 Selling {censored} has been really annoying lately. I put all my {censored} on the low side of their going rate on CL week after week, and the only bites I get are from scammers? eBay wants what amounts to about 10% of my selling price?

Members thefyn Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 I was selling a Gminor midi pedal for $60 plus shipping on this forum (and mentioned it is good for the Gmajor etc). A forumite asked me does that price include the Gmajor? I {censored} you not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TechBrother Posted April 10, 2008 Members Share Posted April 10, 2008 Sometimes I find it really hard to give other forumites a good deal when you know they'll try to make a couple bucks when they sell it in a month. I'll admit that I've done it once but not gennerally as a habit. I try to obtain gear that I plan on keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
