Tyre kickers!

What is it with tyre kickers who think they can get your extrordinarily good bass for an extrodinarily good price?

Blymy, i'm not desperate for the money, just thought i'd put my bass up for sale and if i got a good price, i'd consider parting with it... Just as well, i don't want to sell it anyway, just got caught up in the whole Ebay thing.

Cracks me up when somebody says, "if you don't sell it, maybe <you can sell it to me at a significantly lower price"... Lol. As if... I feel like saying "thanks, you've made me realise i want to keep my extraordinarily good bass, lol"...

They're just hoping you're desperate. They figure it doesn't hurt to try.

It's the Craigslist effect.

Don't ask & you don't get, there's lots of desperate people or people with no clue about what they're selling, I'll always make a low offer and try to get a bargain.

It does not hurt to ask. It comes down to how fair the price is set at by the seller, what the offer is a potential buyer offers, and also how desperate (if at all) or fast you are wanting to sell the item. When I sold stuff in the past I never accepted completely low ball offers despite me setting my prices at reasonable fair amounts. However have accepted a few offers that were lower than my asking price, but still fair to me just to move the stuff.

It's always fair to ask. You can say no.
