Baffled by Pricing Strategy


Over the course of the last two years, I’ve been on here and AudioMart roughly daily.  Like most of us, I always have some items on my Watchlist but I’m especially active looking at the gear in my price point right now.  One oddity that I can’t wrap my head around: Person posts their used gear, it doesn’t sell for months even after lowering the price, and their strategy is to raise the price?!?? People certainly have the right to ask for whatever they want but each time I see this I think to myself “yup, that’ll get it sold…”. From what i can tell, it’s not been in response to manufacturer’s price changes, product scarcity etc…. and it’s not like the community hasn’t seen the previous, lower price.  What’s the logic here?

I've seen watched items on other forums raise their price often.  I can see 2 reasons:  1.  New model has significant price increase.  this had raised used prices on autos consistently.  2.  so they can lower it again in the future.
