"What's Your Best Price?"

In my opinion, the market is fluid. As a seller (or a buyer), it seems impossible to know going in what the bottom line will be. One may have a definite price in mind, but as things progress, that number often changes if one is truly interested in buying or selling the item, and not just in getting a "deal" (recognizing that for some people, getting the deal is the end game).

In fact, for the past nine months or so, almost all of my listings have been fixed price, so one would assume that's my bottom line, right?

Not according to the offers I received.

LOL! 4 years later this is still spinning....kinda like watching a dog chase his tail.....carry on.

Jmcmorgan,
You're right, this thread was initiated in 2006. HA! I can't speak for the other posters but I, being a moron, spent the last 4 years gathering my thoughts. Uh-oh, gotta go, I'm 4 years late for work! Just one more thought: I once asked a hooker "what's your best price?" She said "for $100 I'll do anything you'd like". I told her "OK, deal. I'd like you to paint my house". Sorry about the above, too much time on my hands lately.

Has no one here on AgoN heard of, or used, PayPal's personal money transfer function? No fee involved! You don't get Buyer Protection on private sales anyway -- why pay for it?

Nsgarch,
In my country, the personal money transfer function has been turned off by PayPal to abide by the laws on transferring monies. I am told there are many countries where it is not allowed.
