I hate that too..
There's a guy on Amibay selling some OLD Macs (a Mac 128K) and saying things like, "If it doesn't get sold, it goes to recycle."
Except he's asking $300 for it.
Now, an original working Mac 128k might be worth $300..  I'm not arguing price point.
But if I really am going to sell it or recycle it, then I'm posting it with a starting bid of like $1 +shipping...
(OK, you can't do that on Amibay, but ask your $300, and drop your price $50 every day it isn't sold or something)

People have the "right" to do what they want to sell things (within limits), but not only is that tacky; I don't think it fools anyone...



Well said..  (Although I'd keep my eye on that runequester..  He seems pretty shifty!!!   ;-)  Seriously, Oregon has quite a few good members here..  And me too..   ;-)

Actually, he is not doing anything wrong and the price is reasonable. I think that the seller is just trying to make it perfectly clear that he is not going to play the "let's wait and see if he will lower the price" game that you guys know you love to play. If you want the board, then you will pay what it is worth, or it will be destroyed. Personally, I wish all feebay sellers were like this guy.


Here's the thing.

Stuff has value.

If I had paid money for a given item, and wanted to make money back off that item, that means I want to sell it.

If I happen to price it where nobody wants to buy it, I can do one of two things:

1: I can make the item a more attractive buy, whether by throwing more stuff in, or lowering the price.

2: I can throw it in the trash and be out whatever I originally paid for it.

what is your problem runequester? What is your problem. No that is not me and I dont appreciate you throwing my name around..

To thread, what gives any of you the right to tell another man what he can do with his property and how and when or how much to sell it? What nerve.


You'll undoubtedly forgive me for assuming that a guy saying the same things you do, makes me wonder if it's you.

@Seller
 
You will sell me the card for $100.00
 
This is not negotiable. You will sell me the card or I will destroy the $100.00 and then you will never ever get it.
 
You have 15 minutes to comply.

You sir are amazing
