whats with all the lowballers????

[japan4racing]

i mean it was bad enough back in the day but now its simply rediculous. i totaly understand trying to get the best deal but when someone is asking, say, $125 for something why would you offer $80 :thinking: yes..let me give you a 40% discount from my asking price. and why is it that when most ppl try to lowball the shit out of you they tell you what they will do and when they will do it? let say i want $100 for something i get pm's like this:

"meet me at the bp tonight and i will give you $75 for it pm me your number so we can meet up"

how about you give me what im asking and meet on my terms...your the one that wants this shit not me. this shit just eats me up. i post very clearly what i can do..not what i want to do...what i can do. i work alot and have no free time and i post it in red and bold on the top of my for sale thread and ppl manage to totally miss it...i have angry face on right now

Whats worse is when you're asking $125 they say they can get it on ebay for $85.99 with $6.99 shipping.

[redrumracer]

it boils down to bargaining they give a totally low # in hopes that you will lower your price some. kinda like the same mentality as if you were a car.(i hope you dont pay the asking price for a car unless it is stupidly low already)

i totally understand how bargaining works...but you gotta be realistic. when some one offers something so rediculously low i should just tell them to fuck off...but im a little more nice about it

[redrumracer]

ive seen you for sale thread and i dont think that there is anything wrong with your prices. im just sayin thats why people low ball

Just remember when posting a price, start off well above what you want for it to compensate the low ball offers.

that's not lowballing.

Lowballing is when you ask for $1,000 and they offered 300 bucks for it. That's lowballing.

[japan4racing]

as bad as its gotten now im seriously thinking about just putting it all on ebay. i have way better luck there.

[japan4racing]

an $80 offer on a $125 item is a 40% drop in price..thats the equivalent of offering a dealership $12,000 for a $20,000 car...that is def lowballing to me...i could understand $100 or $110..you gotta try but shit....ppl are ust ruthless when it comes to lowballing

[TRDwasiq]

when u post a price on here make sure U right firm 10 times:) but even after that u ill get a PM sayin 50$ tonight:)

[japan4racing]

[japan4racing]

i forgot my screen name from back in the day...i mostly lurked so i just made this one to match all the other screen names i have on other forums. and i started actually posting

[KPowerEP3]

I was just thinking about this shit earlier...especially the meeting up part.

[cornercarver78]

it realy doesn't bother me when its done by p.m., but when the first post in your fs thread is an offer for half the fukin asking price, thats when i get mad.
