Sellers: When do you drop your price?
@dill, @sokogear,seriously???I wrote extensively about the nature of the inheritance, I listed examples, I explained that inheritance is not free, someone paid for it, etc. .It would not only be stupid but immoral to give it away to the person I i... 
Sellers: When do you drop your price?
@sokogearyou are asking hypotheticals but the original sale I disagreed with has nothing to do with those hypotheticals. I don’t see any place I contradicted myself. I would do in any situation what I think is fair and there are endless types of s...

Sellers: When do you drop your price?
you bought it for 1100 and sold it for 1300? Wowsomeone else's loss is your gain, I couldn't disagree more with that approach.

Sellers: When do you drop your price?
I tried to sell a pair of speakers here a month ago. They were brand new, they didn’t work well with my amp but they were high end and decent speakers. Regardless what I listed it for, all the offers came in at around 55% of the original price. Fi...
