Is it worth the asking price to me? if yes, I really don`t care how much the seller paid for it - that`s really not of consequence to me as the buyer. If I`d previously seen something go for, say £250, that I wanted, but didn`t get there in time, now being sold for £400, provided the £400 was either a good, or fair price, it`s just my tough luck for not being quick enough when it was £250. That`s life - it`s not always fair.
Another thing to consider maybe, when someone is selling something ridiculously low on here, does anyone point out that the market value is much higher, so the seller should maybe raise the price?[/quote]
I recently tried to sell an immaculate Stingray 4. The cheapest online new retail price was £1095, so I though £750 was fair, considering its condition. At the same time there were two other Stingrays on BC for £600. I ended up selling it to a mate for £650.
Those other Stingrays were way too cheap IMO, but we're in cash-strapped times.
