Anyone else receive low offers right away ?


Seem like everytime i list something for sale i get offers within the first hour . They are hundreds less than asking price . Are people looking for flipping oppertunities here or what ? so annoying .

This debate over who thinks low balling is OK and who doesn't is going to go on forever.
My only comment is for those few who suggested listing their product for "Buy It Now" so they won't get the low ballers. That's not a good idea. Many here, including myself, won't just sell to anyone. While we entertain offers, we also get to see who is interested. I won't sell to someone who has a history of negative feedback or seems difficult to deal with.
Happy Holidays!
"Sellers are also being ridiculous. I have seen a few amplifiers that didn't sell. When they were re-listed, the asking price was higher rather than lower than the original"

Seems to me this is common practice in a retail stores. The price goes up after the sale is over.

The seller can do whatever he wants. The item belongs to him. He wasn't put here just to satisfy low ballers.
Orelayer,
"Same goes for the buyer"

Like I said, the seller owns the item. It might be a buyers market right now, but the seller is still in command. I think a lot of buyers think all sellers are in some financial trouble and need to sell the item. Not so. Read the post above yours.
