Am I going crazy or?

I've been thinking about this for awhile now- I see many things for sale on agon. Some are reasonably priced, some priced to cheap ( those go quickly ) and some things priced for more than anyone will ever pay. I guess the folks that get me are those that over price, and refuse offers. I watch their adds go out after the 33 days. And then some list the add again at the same price. I find this interesting. I know I would not expect them to sell to a low baller. However I wonder why they can't take a hint. The worth of something for sale is determined not, by what the seller feels it is worth, but rather by what the market is willing to pay. And for sure we are now in a buyers market virtually on anything.

Patience pays off many times, as a buyer or a seller. If you buy or sell in a hurry, chances are you didn't get the best deal. Sometimes it's just a matter of being patient for the right buyer or seller to come along.
Sometimes the seller is not really sure that he even wants to sell. He may place an ad as a 'feeler'. If he gets very close to his asking price, he may sell and move on. If he does not, he waits and listens to what he has. I've placed ads before just testing the market for a certain item. It may seem overpriced to you, but I only need one buyer.
All buyers would love to find desperate sellers, a patient buyer/seller can reap the benefits. This holds for any market, audio, homes, autos, etc.

Kt_88, I really cannot understand how you can say 'makes me crazy'. Why do you take these ads so seriously? When I see ads like you have mentioned, I don't give them a second thought or consideration. I focus on the ads that interest me, not the ads that do not. Why be concerned if a seller isn't highly motivated? When I'm selling I also do not much worry about unmotivated buyers. It takes all kinds of folks to make the world go 'round, that's what makes life so interesting.
