Being firm with a price, means that you stand your ground. If people offer a lower price than asked, let them walk away. Another user will come eventually.
It's time for a new button on Audiogon
Currently, when selling an item, one has three choices in the listing, buy it now, offer, offer and buy it now.
I prefer to vet my future trading partners, however my ads always say "price is firm". In the ad that I am currently running, for a most inexpensive piece of gear, I have had three offers, all well below asking price. I won't respond, as I have been clear in the body of the ad that the price is firm. In some way, this wastes the potential trading partner's time and mine. Why can't Audiogon add a "full price offer" button?
One would still get to vet potential buyers, buyers would understand that the only option is to make a full price offer, just as they do with the "buy it now" option, and those potential buyers that are uncomfortable with the preconditions would be smart enough not to respond at all.
It seems like this option would solve several problems.
