<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 3363670, member: 13650"]No, I'm saying that's how it comes across on this forum most of the time. I don't think you're going to get premium quality stuff well below price guides and I don't expect to. I also won't post most of what I get anymore because I don't need to hear, "Well, if the purchase made you happy that's all that matters" comments. (Implying that you over paid). I try to save as much as I can but I'm not unreasonable. The few occasions I've been a seller on ebay, I wasn't impressed. </p><p><br /></p><p>It's no different than anything else in life. If you're a buyer, people expect you to PAY! If you're a seller, weeeellll, (insert excuse #1,547) so it's only worth $X amount. You go through this with everything. Most sellers have a price and they're not gonna budge. If you want it you pay. If not you don't get to have it. Period. Not many true auctions anymore because people are too cheap.</p><p><br /></p><p> I'll give a quick example. I threw a batch of brand new store bought T-5 fixtures on craigslist. Over $100 worth with bulbs. I said screw it. $50 takes it all. 50 cents on the dollar is a pretty good deal most would say. </p><p><br /></p><p> Some guy contacts me and wants to give me $30 for it all and wants me to deliver them to him. lol! The trip would cost me $9 in gas plus my time. They're still sitting here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
