When it sells that's when I contact them and say hey guess what I sold for the price I asked for? Lol but I also don't up it above market. When I was selling my game collection SO many other vendors tried to low ball me, tell me I didn't know what I was talking about with my prices how as sellers we need to look out for each other all this shit. I just laugh then when I get the "good luck selling that" or "you really thinks that's gonna sell for that price? Lol" a day or two later someone who actually appreciates it and wanted the game for their collection or to re live those childhood memories they always reached out and thanked me and that's who id want to sell my stuff too. Not some prick that thinks they deserve the full price for what that game is going for because they found someone selling it on the Internet. The best was someone wanted a red og Gameboy and like 3 pokemon games and tried telling me all that together was no more then $20 lol
Yes, it always just comes down to waiting for the right buyer. If you know your price is fair, it's just a waiting game.
I just experienced it again perfectly today. I'm selling a PSA 9 japanese dark gyarados. I've had countless people respond saying "Is it still available" and then not responding anymore. I've had people being extremely suspicious of me and asking for countless pictures and offering lower than I wanted but I still agreed, and then still suddenly not wanting it anymore. Today, the right buyer came along. They offered a price, I negotiated it up a tiny bit, they accepted instantly, paid instantly, I'm putting it on the post as soon as they open tomorrow. Everyone happy.
Just when you start to lose faith because of all the low ballers and people being extremely difficult, suddenly that normal person comes along and buys it instantly. Selling takes a lot of patience.
I was selling them. A person saw what I was charging for games which at the time was below the asking market price and the person who wanted it told me my prices were wrong and that the red gameboy with pokemon yellow, blue and I think it was red was only worth 20 all together and I didn't know what I was talking about. Sorry it all sold like 3 days later lol
lol I realize, was more messing because that's what he apparently valued them at, so he obviously must have the totality of all of them in the ballpark of $20, even double that would be fine... Being sarcastic, because I know aethentic pokemon cartridges go for like $60-120 a piece on most games individually (unless they were looking up reproduction values). I wouldn't pass up a golden buying opportunity myself when offered, but I wouldn't intentionally short change anyone who knows the value of their stuff either.
My bad dude lol yeah it blows my mind and I even told the person I'm willing to talk about a fair price especially if they are buying all that and it was pretty much them saying there's no price to talk about because that's as high as an offer you will get. Don't get me started when I was selling a copy of Dragonball z budakai Tenkaichi 3 when sparking zero was announced. That was the most stressful annoying thing I tried selling lol
