I know it's a meme... but I understand why people do stuff like this.

Had an SD card with a broken case, so it wouldn't work for a camera, only in an SD reader. Put it on sale at half price as "damaged", with a description and photos of the damage. Buyer's feedback: "Worst seller! Card was broken trash!"... didn't ask to return it or for their money back.

Next time, I'll be listing "trash" at full price, ask for a discount if you've read the description. 🤷

I had that. I put up a nice top, cost like £50 brand new, I put it on for a start of 99p with the description of -

"I'm selling clothes that have been stored in the loft, they're dusty and some have faults and staining, when this exists I've put photos on the listing"

I was pleasantly surprised when the bidding reached £28, then annoyed when the feedback was "top was dirty and stained, I put it in the washing machine and is now perfect"

Like how is that a complaint for a top I said was stained??

STILL LOOKING?

When I sell games on marketplace I usually look for the cheapest one and price it like $5 less to sell it quickly.

Anytime someone negotiates i just tell them that it’s already the cheapest for sale. And they can get it from someone else instead if they don’t like it. Super quick and easy.

I wonder if garage sales are better

[-] MJBrune@beehaw.org 6 points 10 months ago

Honestly, they are typically better. There are some mass sale groups that become a tad better but those largely became overpriced. When you go to a garage sale and offer half-price on things you end up getting a lot of yes's or counters closer to the true value rather than what they hope they'll get.

Yeah yard sales are where you can really haggle. Most of the time the owners just want it gone, getting a few bucks in return is a bonus.

[-] storksforlegs@beehaw.org 4 points 10 months ago

Definitely better, you can actually inspect the thing and see its real condition - also no pressure, you can easily walk away.
