“Sold” vs leaving the price on an item rant

["TRUMP"]

This thread makes me feel like snorting a bunch of coke

Agreed as its only a guideline. Whats the reasoning behind locking a new and unsold post then? Seems counterintuitive.

Some people get bombed if they are asking too much or their items aren't as described...

Fair, can only learn by asking

I would prefer that sellers leave the price in the ad. Helps me get a value as a seller or a buyer.

If I had an X-Metal R1 I wanted to sell, and all I had were open sale ads to look at, all I would know is that if I say 700 it will stay there forever. Sold listings with prices would show me that if I put a price around 500, it would move.

You know the way to solve the problem..... every single sale ad, reply saying that “x” is a good price. That will stay there for future reference.

Sellers are forced to list prices as a rule. It gives a starting point, its a good rule....but more times then not a seller accepts an offer and the price listed is irrelevant and even arguably misleading.

it would move at 500 for the mere fact that we are conditioned to seeing $700 price point on a beater R1. Anytime a price dips into the $500 it flys like crack, and makes people believe they are getting a good deal.

Even with leaving price points it is still on the buyer to do due diligence, i am just suggesting there be more information to help create a more clear picture on what a reasonable price is for both partys.

The most reasonable price is whatever the 2 agree on!

I don't want to leave them up because I've had someone quote me before on a previous price I've sold a beater XX frame at. He wanted the exact same price for the new listing.

I used to leave the prices up but now I try to delete them when they sell.

Tell him “**** you”

I like the price staying up. Except for when I just miss a phenomenal deal, then I dont need that low price mocking me.
