I mean, who needs deals when you can have this rusty 40 year old whatever for 180 dollars instead of 200 www.ebay.com/itm/374807675481 |

eBay fees are significant, about 15%. Many sellers maintain their own storefront where the prices are lower, or you can contact them directly for other arrangements. |

The ones I love are when people charge $1000 over the new price for current products still available new. |

Do you guys base your opinions on eBay live auction prices or completed listing prices? Two observations from me: * It's possible that eBay hides some completed listings below a certain threshold price from sold / completed item searches, so you may not know the true average / median price unless you're watching the auctions live. You also no longer have the ability to view the selling prices for Best Offer listings, so that information is also missing. * Buy it now sellers tend to anchor high with their asking prices, which means you'll need to anchor low when making offers despite any negative sentiments about "low-balling". I feel like the general culture of selling has moved more towards BiN style reverse auctions over the years, so you'll have to play the game to get the deals. |
