American Flyers Posted September 8, 2022 Share Why do people offer less than half price that you are asking for? How can they expect that? Kingg and MTBRIDER1234 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadenceblur Posted September 8, 2022 Share 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 Posted September 8, 2022 Share 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.

NeverNotRolling Posted September 8, 2022 Share 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. MTBRIDER1234, Fred van Vlaanderen and BigDL 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewbacca Posted September 8, 2022 Share 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 _David_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaheedalex Posted September 8, 2022 Share 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 _David_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
