The only time I make an offer other then the askinig price is when the ad states obo. Even then, if I believe it to be a fair price, I would pay the asking price. And I really don't like when I am listing something at a firm price, and someone comes in with a lower offer. If I was taking offers, I would state it in the ad. If they don't like the price I am setting, don't buy it. Maybe I am just getting fed up with all the crazy low ball offers lately.
Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll
As I peruse the ads all too much on Audiogon, I have flat out come to the conclusion, I am better off listing something higher than what it value is, than to list a fair price and list it as a firm price. All too often firm prices get views not offers.
It seems everyone wants to get a deal. I know the very term "fair" will spark some controversy, since the term alone is very subjective.
I'd like to know how others view this. Do you pay a fair price when it is fair to you, or do you still try to get a few bucks off?
Do you list higher than fair,knowing you will be asked to go to your lowere (fair) price?
Just curious,
Tom
