"What's Your Best Price?"

The only time an OBO listed price will be met by a full priced offer from a buyer is when both buyer and seller are educated about the current market value of a component, and the seller prices the piece at the market price. This rarely occurs.

I have made full priced offers on gear, and in nearly half the cases the sellers have pulled the item off the market because the believed they had priced their items too low.

Interesting points by Jmcgrogan and Tvad, I recently found that posting prices at or below current market value has resulted in buyers not purchasing because I didn't bargain.

Isn't that a fascinating Catch-22?

Jmcrogan2, I used to work for someone who said if something is not selling, raise the price. It often works to instill a greater perceived value in the item, as well as giving the hagglers a chance to do their thing.
