karlfer Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 There are some stupid prices out there in FEEBay land, and they wonder why they don't sell Then you get a shop which leads the rest of the terminally optimistic by example. The last one of the following I saw, went for less than half of this!

bagsieblue Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Maybe a bit of 'pricing architecture' on this Mr Karlfer...... I've done something similar on eBay with musical and non musical related items. For example I was shifting an amp that I though was worth £150 all day long. Have it on for a few weeks with the auction starting at £150 - not even a sniff. I put it on at £225 Buy It Now or best offer. The very same night someone offered £125 - I counter offered £150, it got accepted and I sold the amp. Feebay seling prices are absolutely all over the place and so hard to predict.....

BetaFunk Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 (edited) This all reminds me of a record shop i found in the mid 1970s where i bought some amazingly rare jazz, blues, psych and soul LPs for mostly £2.00 to £2.50. I made frequent visits over the next couple of years if i was in the area. This was before the 2nd hand record collecting boom had really got going and even specialist shops like Dobell's, Mole Jazz, Garon, Honest Jon's etc were selling stuff at very reasonable prices. When thinning down my record collection over the last ten years i have sold a lot of these mostly for between £75 to £125 and a few for a lot more. I visited the same shop in the mis 90s and although it was still there the rare stuff had all gone. I think that the chap must have realised that he sold off the crown jewels for peanuts all those years ago and now had things like Tina Charles, The Nolans etc LPs priced at £25!!! You can put whatever price you want on something but it doesn't mean to say that you're ever going to get it.
