I always start with the price that I would want to pay if I were looking at/searching for that item at that quality. And that’s the damned price, no haggling. I will lower the price unbidden of the person is super chill and easy to work with. Sometimes I just give it to them when they show up.
Because here’s one of common use cases of selling stuff: you’re not using it anymore, so you’re selling it to recoup some of the investment, right? Otherwise, it is taking up space, consuming your resources, and providing you negative return on value. It’s a millstone for you at this point and any dollar amount is recouping your finite life capacity, to which no dollar value can be assigned.
Yeah, I know there are plenty of other cases… maybe you’re trying to afford an upgrade or afford something else; that’s a whole different issue. Also scalpers and resellers. Fuck those parasites in their ears. My fair-pricing idea can be chum in the water for resellers. Know your customer and don’t do business with these assholes. Once you’ve dealt with your first reseller, you quickly get a read on these bottom feeders.
I don’t know why, but people want to haggle in situations like this. Setting the price and being firm may not move the product as fast as a higher price and haggling.
