etiquette

Hello everyone glad to have found this wonderful and informative site---what is the etiquette here---does a lot of negotiation occur or is the price the price---in addition, I see some for sale listings and the item sells one minute later---how does that happen.

Appreciate the kindness I have received on this board.

Best Regards to all.

Michael

Welcome, Michael! If the price is right, and the seller's rep is right, it goes. If it has been lingering for awhile, I may offer a slight reduction to the seller. I personally do not like a lot of back and forth, so the initial price should be in the range of reason.

Low-ball offers are insulting! If you do your research ahead of time, you'll be fine. Offering significantly less than listed price probably means you can't afford it in the first place

sales 1 minute later are usually just a courtesy of posting the original add along with the notification that the item has sold (its done this way because the "FS" subject line cant be altered on the original post)

as far as the price it is really on a case by case basis... some things are priced fairly from the start and some things may be priced higher than you are expecting, still others items may seem out of order due to a collect-ability that the buyer may not have been aware of ....each seller has his own criteria and expenses to consider?

welcome
