If I am looking for an item I have done my research and have a pretty good idea of what the fair market price for that item should be. If I find the said item listed at that price I will offer to buy it at asking price as I think most folks on this site will do. As for selling items this holds true. I will list the item for a fair price and I think most people who are looking to purchase the item I am selling here on this site have a good idea of what the item is worth and will just straigt out purchase the item. There are always exceptions, but in general this holds true!
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
