Question of the Month

I have a set of silverware for sale at $75.   I'm the only one anywhere online with this pattern.  It was made about 20 years ago and is no longer on the retail market.  I'm usually good at math word problems but I'm stumped.  The cruxt of it is they want a lower price but with way they talk in circles I don't even want to play with them.  

 

"Hi there, these sets retail for $8 to $12. I only have a serving for 4 currently but would like to expand for a serving of 8. However, I’m willing to spend $20 to $40 for a completely brand new set and donate the setting of 4 that I currently have. Would you be willing to sell these to me for $20? Or if a used serving for 4 is really worth $75 do you want to buy my setting of 4 for $40 so that I can get an entirely new set?"

 

Happy Friday, just wanted to share...

some one trying to sell you an item: report them.

Blocked bidders list to be safe as well.

In cases like this my standard response is

 

We believe our prices are fair as they are. They are not open to negotiation.

 

Acts as a simple brushoff to the casual "looking for a discount" buyer.

tell them "walmart has sets for around $20, if you want these it's $75"

The great truth is there isn't one

I did block them, also revised the listing to toy dinosaurs.  Will relist in a few weeks.   How do you report them?  I only thought you could report a buyer or a seller not a potential buyer.

You are correct, you cannot. If they are also a seller you can report them, though.

 

Previously you could report them inside the message feature but this was removed a long time ago.
