This has been a week for me and lowball offers.
I've had some Dark Vanilla Perfume listed for a couple of weeks.
Within a day I sold it to a lady in Canada. But, she didn't read the listing well, and ended up not wanting to pay the import cost, so I cancelled it for her.
So I relisted last week for $65. Amazon has it listed at $120. I figured that I would be willing to go down to $50.
A few days later I got an offer for $20. Seriously? I thought that was a low ball offer, but then a few days later I got this...
an $18.00 dollar offer - I thought surely this would be the lowest one, but no!
at the end the weekI got an offer for $15. Seriously people? I'll keep it for that- even though I can't wear it due to my son's asthma. Even my hubby got a laugh on this one, and he doesn't usually get ebay humor.
Then, this morning,. . . hallelujah! SOLD for $65, FULL ASKING price!
Yea! It pays to wait for the right buyer.

I am glad you were able to get your asking price in the end! I know what you mean- consitantly no matter what the item or the price- I keep getting offers for $10.00.
ReplyDeleteI think that is insane on some things considering most of the time they are asking for well over $20.00 off the price.
But I guess I am glad to hear I was not the only one going through that issue.
