How hard is it to type "sorry someone else beat you to it" ???

I agree. It drives me crazy when I never hear back from someone, I rather know it's been sold then sit around wondering.

If you ask around and the price is fair then I believe you should pay what the person is asking, however if the item is really overpriced then ya I would haggle but I wouldn't want to really lowball the person and end up insulting them. Also I agree that offers should be made in PM's and not for everyone to see. I've been lucky so far in that everything we've sold, the person has paid what we agreed upon. I'd be really ****ed off (to the point were I'd probably say no) if the price was agreed upon at $100 and someone showed up with only $80.

Wow i am so glad i am not the only one

I have never been able to "Haggle" Anything in my life. I bought a new vehicle a few yrs back and the salesman haggled with his manager for me....lol

I guess its just when i read these for sale ad's and i know what its worth and they are already asking for WAY less than what they paid for it and then watch someone just insult them. And then continue with is all the extra's included to???
REALLY.....lol
When we sold our 180 it was brutal what ppl wanted to pay for it the stand and then us to throw in all the pumps. So i guess i was pretty darn happy to just drop the price and Christy come and get it

I honestly don't mind the hagglers.... What really pi$$'s me off is the people who say OK I'll take it..... when is good to come by? and you never see them. This just happened to me twice!!! by the same person..

Oh ya that is really annoying, I've had it happen to me before, but from different people. FYI I wouldn't try to sell anything to that person ever again.

I can't be bothered (or to embarrassed) to haggle so if buying something big I bring along the wife and it is amazing how much she either gets the price down or have extras thrown in.

Now here selling a frag for $15, guy agrees, comes over says $10, that's just being cheap, but the no shows are way more annoying.
