Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll


As I peruse the ads all too much on Audiogon, I have flat out come to the conclusion, I am better off listing something higher than what it value is, than to list a fair price and list it as a firm price. All too often firm prices get views not offers.

It seems everyone wants to get a deal. I know the very term "fair" will spark some controversy, since the term alone is very subjective.

I'd like to know how others view this. Do you pay a fair price when it is fair to you, or do you still try to get a few bucks off?
Do you list higher than fair,knowing you will be asked to go to your lowere (fair) price?
Just curious,

Everything I have sold I have sold AT THE ASKING PRICE.
Everything I have purchased I have purchased AT THE ASKING PRICE.
When I wanted $200 EACH for 20 year old EMIM midrange drivers, it took 3 months to sell all of them off, but I stuck to, and got my price.
When I see something that is overpriced, I just pass.
Overpricing your stuff is stupid. Why play even more games?
If you have a problem with the folks who want to play games... why join in?
I say find a fair price for you item, (considering its value and rarity) and sell it AT THAT PRICE.
It the dudes searching for a steal email you offering 1/2 that, you know what that offer is worth....
I can freely decide to throw the item into the dumpster (after taking out all my pent-up anger out on it with crowbar and hammer)if I can't get a fair price for it.
(which I have done, though I am loath to destroy my Pioneer Elite LD-S2, which is current blue book at $45 for a 70lb $3,500 monster.)
