Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling...

I have to say constant watching pays off. The second item I bought within the first ten minutes of it being posted. Perfect item, LOW PRICE. IMO the reason you do not see the hot items is they are sold as soon as they get listed. Another item was posted,.. If I would have hit BUY, immediately it would have been mine, noo... In the five minutes I was waffling, IT SOLD. And as soon as sold, they immediately vanish. Anything over a day old is already old hat and most likely overpriced. Feel free to rant....

I checked about two weeks ago.

95 cartridges on the gon

94 cartridges on canuck

78 Koetsus alone, on the ’Bay.

This is not difficult math, folks...

As you can see from the prior post, the only thing selling here, is the unexpectedly low priced stuff to the people who are waiting in the bushes to snipe as fast as they can. Not saying it’s a bad thing (I be sniper-ish myself, it’s how you get the good stuff at the right price), but the, other, the rest....the normal part (largest mass of seekers and sellers) that would normally be tied to it, to be as the bulk of the purchase scenarios --- has pretty well gone bye bye.

Something about auction and sales listing costs incurred and returns on said expenses, it somehow comes to mind....

The problem is folks who are needing a price. Those who expect to sell at or over the used price they paid (to fuel their other purchases) and dealers. folks who are all but dealers in name. THOSE are the folks who have to worry about 'overhead'.. not the casual seller.  
As a casual audiophile hobby seller I have never worried about it. All I am concerned is if the buyer will be happy with my stuff.

@john1, do you actually listen to yourself or do you just open your mouth and schitt falls out? You do understand the difference between need to and want to don't you? When you call someone a liar it really says a lot about you, but I do want to thank you for making your second post on this topic shorter and less boring than your first, at least I didn't almost fall asleep from boredom as I read it. Just sayin

Turkeys are flying NOT buying regardless of price.
