that’s when you send the new offer of a whopping $21.37 and add “I’ll even throw in half a jimmy johns sammich if you accept in the next 30 minutes”
Then five minutes later, “The sandwich is no longer on the table. You may smell the wrapper.”
The sandwich is no longer on the table
I eated it
I used to offload used electronics on CraigsList. I would deeply discount to prevent people from wanting a refund. Then every offer was like this screenshot. I gave up and now I environmentally recycle perfectly good gear that someone could have enjoyed.
Understandable but people like you are the problem. You are so petty you’d rather take a loss on the item than sell at a price that matches demand.
I have self respect enough to take a loss rather than be taken advantage.
Ha!!! The issue is that people are not willing to pay the price that matches demand. You could list it for 20% of the going rate and still have people offer you pennies. This negging method has become a side hussle.
The last 3 things I sold online all got sold in a day for roughly what I asked for, but for every good offer there are at least 10 of these scams. Its why I now use a local auction to dump unused stuff, I don’t need the threats and bullshit.

Uh… doesn’t that just mean that the price doesn’t match demand?
No that is what you are missing, there is a bunch of people who do nothing but gaslight to get things for next to nothing then resell later.
For example I sold a car last year for $1500, I could have maybe got more but eh that was fine. I know what the market price is more or less but I when I listed it I got about 50 offers under $100, keep in mind I could scrap it for $300.
This is a scam that has come up from online listing, these people put bullshit offers in across many many listings and some even try to threaten and trick.
Eh, doesn’t matter in the end. Came back to check the thread and it turns out, the guy pacattack was replying to was lying anyway. Further down he admits that he only posted once and deleted it after the first bid.
Ah cool, but I was not lying so why come back to reply to me? The argument is still true and valid, do you think my experience goes away from the validity of another?
If you’re offloading electronics that are going to ewaste center why not accept a $20 offer? Im genuinely interested because i often bid 5-20 on things i consider e waste and people reject it and continue trying to sell it for $100
I was already deeply discounting. I also give hardware away to friends and family (my old Synology NAS just got a new home with a friend). But for strangers to underbid so hard is fucking insulting. I am generous. I am not someone of which to take advantage.
Do you know the phrase cut your nose to spite your face?
I’m pretty sick of people treating this like I’m harming myself or the market by refusing to let strangers take advantage of me. Get fucked.
Nah.
Classy…
Okay, I’ll get fucked for $350 or you can submit your best offer.
The funny thing is that you think everyone else is the problem when zero legit offers means its virtually certain your asking price was nonsense.
People with used obsolete goods often have expectations of value pegged to what they originally paid for it rather than what it’s worth.
Search your own or similar good on markets to see what other people are paying for similar or better goods.
Is Amazon selling something for 20 similar to what you paid 50 for 5 years ago? Shipped to your door tomorrow for free? Well then nobody is driving an hour out to your place next Tues to pay you 25.
Fuck you. I didn’t leave my goods up for a week and only get shitty bids. I stopped posting when the first bid on day one was insulting. You don’t know shit.

Were you lying then or were you lying now?
