"What's Your Best Price?"

I don't think they are "moronic" to ask what your bottom dollar price is...you must have given it some thought when you listed your item...correct? The "OBO" listing is optional to you...it gives the buyer the impression that "you will take less", he/she simply wants to know what it will take $$$ to close a deal "NOW"...quick and simple.

Auction is for those that like to dicker...I never go there.

On the other hand, "OBO" does imply "or best offer", ie...you expect them to make an offer so I understand your point....to a point :D

I do my OBO listings above what I'll take...I don't mind the "bottom dollar" question as long as it gets me my bottom dollar. If I have an amp listed at $1,700 OBO and $1,500 is my "what will you take" price...I shoot back an email stating $1,500...bottom dollar.

It does not matter how you do your listings...tire kickers are a fact of life.

Ok, I'll report....I have bought and sold "WYBP" (or terms along that line anyway). It reads to me that others (above) have done the same?...all deals went fine and without a hitch.

That said, thats not my standard mode of buying, ie...if I think the OBO price is fine for that component...I don't even mention price.

Dave

I think some of you sellers would like to turn OBO in to an auction?

Ok, whats your reserve? (aka......whats your bottom dollar shipped to my zip, and paying with paypal?

I don't have a problem asking this as a buyer, and I don't have a problem with it as a seller.

I got it, you want it........you got it, I want it, lets get er done.

No, not directed at any one post. I think we have many different types of sellers and buyers here at A-gon.

So this coin has more than two sides, And I understand that because I have been a seller and a buyer. My obo listings are always higher than my bottom dollar, and for a reason (some people will pay more without asking any questions). That said....If I get an email asking me what my bottom dollar price is?....I send them the answer, and it doesn't bother me at all. (I already know what I'll take when I list?).

Selling,

I sell to the first person that meets that $$$ figure (and you didn't meet it, until you send the cash.....I like paypal, and don't charge a fee), and it's that simple.

Buying,

As soon as we know the $$$ figure (bottom dollar)....I send you the money paypal direct transfer (very fast).

I don't like auctions, and I won't wait around long...... I have a need for speed (-:

This all works for me, although I'm sure many buyers and sellers like to dicker over price, and thats fine for them.
