🦘X-Metal Pricing - Relative Values

[OakleyFrankFMJ]

yep, for sure no one would be upset or get bent from all the view points presented in those discussions. Those would be the truly peaceful arenas to be engaged in.

People do take everything so literally. It says a rough guide to x metal pricing. That's all. Rough guide. Nothing is written in stone and just because one person said so doesn't mean everyone needs to subscribe to this way of thinking. If anyone references the thread when countering a seller or making an offer the response can and should be Though it is one persons valuation it is not necessarily the spokesperson for the group. I've watched a lot of items over the years. I've come to terms in my head about the average certain things have sold for. A nice Juliet loose frame with lenses that may need replacing isn't out of the grasp of most buyers for $250-$300 especially if you want t customize them to your taste. I don't expect to see those same frames for $50.00 It just doesn't happen and if it does it's a rarity.

These deals are out there for any person at the right time in the right place. And by the way, I would venture many of the members here today are not above the $50 price expectation for a juliet frame as buyers.

To put this into perspective, in the past I have offered a frame (nothing wrong with it...just needed a tune up) for sale for $155. You know...I wanted to cover some/most of the shipping cost....hence the $155 instead of $150. A potential buyer asked if I would take $150 instead?

My answer was NO. I told the member that we all know what level of dirt my asking price was already, and he was going to squeeze another $5 out of that bone dry price? Please....

and that is just an example of what I've been talking about in my recent resurrection as a poster here.

I guess the sarcasm meter's down. I didn't add a sarcasm emoticon to my post.

I saw it. Just figured nobody else did. But imagine the peace and love and harmony there.

This thread started about xmetal prices and then turned into discussion about religion and politics. What a bunch of crap. FYI I was not offended by any of the religious or political comments I just feel politics and religion have no place in an Oakley forum. If you want to talk about politics and religion start a thread in the off topic section.

+1 !

First rule of selling things on the internet - price high, expect lowballs, negotiate down to your real number
Second rule of selling things on the internet - if you priced it low to move it fast expect the same treatment as if you posted full price
Third rule of selling things on the internet - everything you put in your ad will need to be repeated
Fourth rule of selling things on the internet - it's not sold until you have the cash
Fifth rule of selling things on the internet - Honor your word and sell to whomever shows up to pay asking price or if you've committed to a deal

And the rules of buying are much different.
