Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG?


Chances are if you’re looking at an ad you already know what it went for when new but I still find it annoying / irritating at best and dishonest at worst.  Moreover, it seems the trend is getting worse in terms of frequency and % of inflating original retail prices.  In some cases, (where applicable), a seller’s response usually revolve something like, “well, that is the current price” , not acknowledging that current models often have upgrades that would account, at least partially,  for the increase.    Am I the only one that is bothered by this?  Just curious.

Testpilot:  is it really that difficult to list the *correct MSRP?  I don’t get it.

 

*e.g. the MSRP at the time of purchase, or or more accurately in those rare cases where they diverge, the MSRP when the component was manufactured.  

leaving the New retail Price box blank is always an option when in doubt...

@russellrcncom ,  leave the msrp blank.  If it is important to the buyer, they can perform their own due diligence.  Why draw the scrutiny from the pricing police.  Problem solved.  

In Bloomington IN, the spiral ham was at price point of $131 with around $13 per pound. Same one in Ohio was in the vicinity of $10 for whole thing with just buck per pound same ham so go figure where you spending right or wrong.

It took me a trip to Shanghai to realize that batteries aren’t that expensive for EVs and Americans pay around 20x of what Chinese pay.
