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

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.)

If its a fair price and I want the item i will pay the asking price. If the same item has sold for a lower price previously and is of similar condition i will offer a lower price. Negotiating is a part of the buying and selling process. The thing i think is ridiculous is when someone trying to sell something makes the comment that low ballers will be ignored when a simple no thank you would be more appropriate; just my opinion.

The only time I make an offer other then the askinig price is when the ad states obo. Even then, if I believe it to be a fair price, I would pay the asking price. And I really don't like when I am listing something at a firm price, and someone comes in with a lower offer. If I was taking offers, I would state it in the ad. If they don't like the price I am setting, don't buy it. Maybe I am just getting fed up with all the crazy low ball offers lately.

I've sold things both ways...with "OBO" listings and with "Firm" listings. I vacillate between the two, and I've yet to decide which is best. I can say with certainty that nearly every time list an item as "Firm", buyers respond with lower offers, or they want shipping included, or they want the Paypal fees absorbed. It's just the nature of bargaining.

I have sold several "OBO" listed items at full asking price with shipping and fees on top, but these are usually high-demand items for which there are many previous sales on which to base a fair asking price.

As is always the case, the market is determined by supply and demand. And, the more clearly defined the market, the better one can determine a fair asking price. Also, in my opinion, the word "Fair" is too subjective. One person's "Fair" is another person's "Overpriced". If I list an item at a fixed price, I always price it at the amount at which I believe it will sell, not at a price I hope it will sell. There is a huge difference between the two.
