What's your best price?

Are people stupid or just too lazy to negotiate?

We're neither stupid or lazy. We're just not pieces of shit.

I never talk prcing unless its face to face

most people dont have the balls face to face that they do over the phone/text/email

That's key. I usually put in my craigslist ads that I don't accept offers via email.

I actually had a guy get mad at me for not telling him my lowest price. I told him if my asking price wasn't low enough, what does he think a good price would be? He said that I was just trying to rip him off. When I countered with "arn't you trying to rip me off by asking my lowest price" he said "it doesn't work like that". People are nuts.

This. No offers unless you see it in person. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but seeing it before your eyes is worth millions more.

Saying that isn't always a good thing. I have bought multiple cars on craigslist, which were out of state, through emails, texts, or calls without ever seeing the car. We agree on price and I paypal them the money, 2 weeks later, I have the car. Also done it with other items not just cars.

I have never lost a sale because of it. I tell them if they want to make an offer, come and look at it. I tell them that standing in front of me with cash in hand means more than some stranger emailing them a number. Seriously, I tell them all this. Serious buyers won't give you a hard time. Assholes will, and they don't deserve my shit anyways!

I remember when I bought the SLP 3800 headers from you like 10 years back, the price was so good I didn't even bother with an offer

[Torxila]

If I see an add that states $xxxx.00, (NOT followed by "Firm") If I'm seriously interested, I make an offer (maybe 5-7% less) saying cash in hand, where do I send it! I don't believe in low-balling/tire kicking.

If I'm selling something, I state "FIRM" on pricing. I won't even answer a "would-ya-take" texts or emails. If you research your market, pick a FAIR price & state that in plain English it should weed out the dirt bags. YMMV

[Beigg]

If more details being requested are promptly provided without some shade tree response, I'll gladly arrange a meet-up IF I deem it necessary. Every sell/buy has its personal uniqueness, ymmv applies to generally.
