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


As I peruse the ads all too much on Audiogon, I have flat out come to the conclusion, I am better off listing something higher than what it value is, than to list a fair price and list it as a firm price. All too often firm prices get views not offers.

It seems everyone wants to get a deal. I know the very term "fair" will spark some controversy, since the term alone is very subjective.

I'd like to know how others view this. Do you pay a fair price when it is fair to you, or do you still try to get a few bucks off?
Do you list higher than fair,knowing you will be asked to go to your lowere (fair) price?
Just curious,

I pay asking price ALL the time,, and almost ALL the time i do not go down anything at all on my listing price when i sell,,I just really dont like the "game" and do not respond to a listing that is priced too high and of course,, conversely really do not like lowball offers.
I only make offers on something if i REALLY have been looking for something for a long time and cannot find it,, then and only then will i make an offer on a listing that i believe to be above fair market value.

GOOD POST!
