Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll

As a buyer I will gladly pull the trigger and pay asking price for an item I feel is worth it.

As a seller I price my items with a little "wiggle room" built in.

My ads always say: "lowballers cheerfully ignored".
If that gets the goat of others, they must see a reflection of themselves. Recently the amount of tire-kickers and lowballers here has reached a fairly good level. I'm happy to play email and phone tag with a serious buyers, but not for time-wasters.

My feedback here reflects how I have done business.

Caveat Emptor!

Best,

Paul :-)

LOL, not many seem to like "lowballers cheerfully ignored".

My last item sold in one day for $100 less than my asking price. The lowballers were out in force once again.

As others have said if you are here at AudioGon and interested in an item, you should also have a fair idea of it's actual market value. Research is the key.

I'm not a professional audio salesman, however I like my music and now have a system if I had to pay retail would top the $100K mark. Audiogon and shrewd buying have allowed me to have the system of my dreams for a fraction of it's new list. Shrewd buying means having a look out the back door while you're going in the front. It is possible to buy and try and recover your investment fully if the piece doesn't work out in your system or if the upgrade bug hits.

As to PayPal, if a buyer wants to use it to get an item quicker, then he/she can pay the fee. I have paid the fees on items I've bought when I wanted them ASAP. I would never ask someone else to do what I would not. Fair is fair.

Otherwise, overnite the check!

Best,

Paul :-)
