No longer are people "chancing" their arm on seeing how much they can screw out of a buyer
If a make me an offer type sale is wanted by a seller then they can put it on Ebay and obviously on there the best offer will win (subject to any reserve)
Just take a look at Miniliteman's latest for sale ad - All priced and the majority sold with no issues as far as I could see - Maybe Leon would like to comment on my pricing rule ?
First of all I know what KL 's reasoning is; but in similar circumstances (not knowing what a part is worth) I asked (pm) some respected BB-members on here to get a proper market-value of the parts I had for sale. So I think a (locked, don't know exactly how it should work) separate thread section would be a good idea. I always wanted to be a Administrator ... but perhaps Ruddy and/or Robbo would be better for this role.
The parts I had for sale last week were priced to sell; for a set of 4 NOS RS-wheel-centrecaps I asked £80 and they sold within a couple of hours. I do not mind that a similar set on ebay fetched £128 not long afterwards. As long as the buyer doesn't buy them off me to make a profit shortly after buying ...
I suggest that anyone wanting to sell parts for the highest price possible to it on ebay like some Germans do it atm: auction it with a high-buy-it-now-price plus the make-me-an-offer facility.
That way if there's a silly b*st*rd that does buy-it-now you make an excellent price or if not you can look out for buyer making a bid close to your asking price.
I see this BB as a friendly place not as a substitute for ebay. If that all makes any sense ...
