My favorite people to low ball are the ones that are moving and need to sell big things like furniture.

I tried to low ball this guy for his TV stand, for $100, he wouldn't accept, wanted $300 initially, then found his exact TV stand online for $295, only lowers to $275. Won't go any lower, so I guess he is hauling that stupid TV stand to Nevada with him and putting it in storage.

But now I found a nice TV stand, barely used, for $100 which I may pick up.

I usually sell my used stuff 50% cheaper on CL. I still get low balled. And most people ask full retail for most stuff. People don't know how to trade now a days, wtf. Ebay is better sometimes

Are you saying private sales are worth more? I cannot agree with that at all and it's the basis of my gripe.

Looking at older Subarus and people want waaaay more than KBB for a rusty high mileage POS with original head gaskets.

Sold my old hifi plus 29er on clist, no problem.
Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had, but so did another man. As I rained blows upon him, I realized there had to be another way.

If you know how to really lowball someone for dirt cheap, you can use their furniture, then resell it for a profit when you're done.

I've done that with patio furniture I bought at $600, used it 3 months, sold them all for $900. Easy $300 profit and got to use furniture.

You must be new to making deals? Lowball is a strategy, same as a strategy a seller does with a high asking price.

If you cant make deals you shouldnt be selling anything cuz ur never gonna make a deal.
Keep rep trading out of your sig line miss

You tend to get more for your value selling privately than you would to a dealer. That's a fact. Of course, you can still have a moron way overpricing something on a private sell.

Brah... please.

I'm speaking from the perspective of the seller. Someone who is listing at a fair price isn't going to sell at a massive loss unless they're desperate or got the item for free. On the flip-side, that's inconsiquential to someone that just lowballs 24/7... they have nothing to lose.

Hate looking for anything on that site. Last year I needed a new car real quick...one idiot in particular I remember very well, wanted over $9k for his car with over 100k miles on it. I look at KBB and says the car with those options is worth $6.5k and tell him if he wants to unload it quickly I will give him KBB value. He responds with "it is worth $8.5k because it is in perfect condition (yeah, a car with over 100k miles that's been driven in snow is in perfect condition) and his extra wheels and tires are worth over $600, so his price is fair.

Didn't even respond, people are fukking stupid

Signals got crossed...I thought you meant buying from a dealer vs buying from private party

Selling to a dealer is stupid unless you basically have no choice

^This. There's nothing to lose other than getting ignored.

Plus, sometimes when people have to move, they'll take the first offer on anything too large they can't take with them.

There's the other side of this equation, I once saw a CL ad for a "gaming PC" with an FX-6100 and a Geforce 650, and the guy was selling it for like $4500 dollars. This was like 3 months ago BTW. I emailed the guy and asked if the price was a typo, it was not.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Kinda curious what the other specs were. But lol at that guy thinking he's going to offload a $4500 computer on craigslist.

Here's something that will make you cry. When I was in IT my former company gave to the recycling company 50+ dell engineering computers with dual xeon, 16 gig ecc ram, high end graphics card, etc. Each were worth about $5000 new. Could of easily been sold on ebay or craigslist for $1000 each. They just gave them away.... GAVE THEM AWAY. A tear came to my eye.

I tried Craigslist one time and never again cause I got sick and tired of dealing with those losers.

I was selling the Wi years ago, maybe 2 months after it came out I was selling it with 2 controllers, nunchucks, and like 3 games....

For a hundred less than the price of the Wi with just one controller.

Made sure to put my price was firm, etc and still had mouth breathers trying to lowball or even like "uhurrr durr, give me the system and just 2 controllers for $100".

The best thing about the PC the guy was selling was the case, it was a NZXT Noctis, everything else was subpar, didn't even have an SSD.

And I believe what you say, I'm in IT, and the things that I see thrown out or marked for recycling. Plus side is, I have a surplus of parts and other things because of this.

Lol, I've met some cool people on craigslist/backpage.


1.)Funniest would be I was meeting a guy to buy a used TV. I'm in the middle of this parking lot waiting, no one else parked nearby and this police SUV shows up.

Started going 'Wut, is this some kind of police sting?'. The officer gets out and turns out, he's the guy and had a free moment to meet.

Was funny as fuq.


But also a lot of weird people.


1.)Was selling a weight bench and I told the guy I'd meet him halfway somewhere. He said he would only meet at MY house and to send him my address.

Told him no thanks.


2.)Another time, I met someone to buy some car parts. Guy looked like a gangster and when he got out of the car, a pistol fell out of his waistband. Just looked at it, then him as he grabbed it.

I looked at the parts and declined because they were in worse shape than the pictures showed. Plus I didn't want possible hot items. He tried lowering his price on the spot, but I said no and left.


3.)Broke my phone and found a used one on craigslist for a fair price. Was using this cheap walmart phone as a temporary. Agreed to meet the guy at a walgreens after a text exchange. I'm waiting in my car and this thug looking young kid shows up on a ratty BMX bike and just starts standing by the entrance. I'm thinking 'this better not be the guy'. Sure enough, he pulls out his phone and my phone starts ringing. Was like 'Fuuuuqqq'. I answer and he goes 'Yo man, I'm here at da place.'

Lets just say, I nope'd out of there and made up some lie that I didn't need it anymore. Lets just say he was less than pleased.

Just recently found out that hard drive magnets (10-15 of them) sell for 20 to 60 dollars online. I must of destroyed thousands of drives when i worked in IT ... and to think each one had two magnets in them

LMAO all the mongs in here talking "hurr lowballing is the truth" know jack **** about negotiating.

Lowballing is moronic cause you run the risk of turning the seller off before anything.

MFs try to low ball me and I'm just telling them beat it and quit wasting my time.

If you come with a low enough offer I'm not interested in anything you have to say after that.

3.)Broke my phone and found a used one on craigslist for a fair price. Was using this cheap walmart phone as a temporary. Agreed to meet the guy at a walgreens after a text exchange. I'm waiting in my car and this thug looking young kid shows up on a ratty BMX bike and just starts standing my the entrance. I'm thinking 'this better not be the guy'. Sure enough, he pulls out his phone and my phone starts ringing. Was like 'Fuuuuqqq' I answer and he goes 'Yo man, I'm here at da place.'

Lets just say, I nope'd out of there and made up some lie that I didn't need it anymore. Lets just say he was less than pleased.
Luckily my apartments have cameras at the entrance and a lot of people coming and going usually. Otherwise, with the larger priced items i'd make them meet me at a police station. So far I've done a pretty good job of weeding out the weirdo's. IMO, it's usually their grammar that sends off alarm bells.

I admire his tolerance levels, I'm not playing with these characters.
Lol, had a guy pay me $200 too much. The bills had stuck together and I didn't notice until after he left.

I counted it again just to make sure. I would have felt bad keeping it, so I quickly called and told him the mistake. He said thanks and came back.
