Selling

[American Flyers]

Why do people offer less than half price that you are asking for?  How can they expect that?

Chancers 

Some people are desperate so perhaps think you'll bite 

Your price could be high 

Leaving room for negotiations 

FB market place sees goods going for dirt cheap sometimes 

Take your pick!

[Nico van Loggerenberg]

People are free to offer whatever they want. You're free to laugh at their offers if you want. No reason to take offence. 

 

The resellers on here with their 'price not negotiable' statements crack me up. We know what you paid. Relist again next week.

I literally had someone reply to my advert of an amplifier by saying that something internally was broken, and then proceeded to make an offer of 20% of the asking price. Comedic gold that FB marketplace is, gotta love it.

[Steady Spin]

People suck.

[_David_]

Don't get offended see lowball offers as a way to begin negotiations.

I have recently been on a binge buying spree on FB marketplace.

A lot of the time, people don't know what they have. I bought a set of incredibly rare, collectable golf irons from 1980 in immaculate condition for 250zar.

Another set of 1978 Slazenger Jack Nicklaus signature irons in immaculate condition for a bit more.

Both were garage clear outs by people not knowing or caring what they are selling or it's worth.

I think a FB market place buyer expects this to be the case with everyone selling. Just say no and move on

Yes. Therein lies the problem 

[PregoRoll]

same thing when you list something, and okes appear to ask if they can buy X or Y part off it. 

 

Ja Sure,

Offer them half the item.. the more we negotiate, the more I remove.

On the subject , does a seller saying  " No time wasters"  help ?🙂

Not at all. Makes me go "challenge accepted"

[Steady Spin]

"Is this still available?" and then crickets

[Shaheedalex]

Things are over priced here too

Just this morning someone put a year stock bike up for sale for R3k less than this years model NEW

so we may be entering a time to inflate asking price and expect someone to offer what one wants at 50% off asking..look i dont know these times are crazy

I too get "Ghosted" when enquiring about parts I just assume they do not want to deal with me cause I am ............... then I just move along swiftly
