I agree! At least sell it for a reasonable price for goodness sakes! Some things hold their value like cars, or jewelry, but shoes, dressers, coats and tables don't. 4951
Actually cars dont hold value well at all...buy a new one and see what you can get for it the minute you drive it off the lot...you lose 30% on a new vehicle the minute you sign the papers....LOLI dont mind people trying to make money but I say standard pricing for classifieds and garage sales is 25% of original price if gently used and 50% if new or like new. 4951
Your right!!!!   That makes me angry when I see that. I laughed at someone yesterday and thought to myself ....I will just go to the mall for that. 4951
What about when the item is used, but the person tries to sell it for more than it sells new? That happens pretty often with computers.Joe Nitwit buys a laptop for $700. Two years later he tries to sell it for $550. But the same laptop new in stores is now $450. 4951
well I also looked over some other area classifieds and its that way everywhere..especially some of the toys...I have seen some really good deals on furniture...but toys and clothes seem to be priced way too high...I looked over some lego sets, used and open box being listed on another known classifieds for our area MORE than what I could get them on sale brand new.I have gotten some deals though...the last good deal I got was a dog door to fit a sliding glass door...those things are like 200 new, his was used but it was in pretty good shape and was asking 35...I asked on the phone if he would take 25 and he said yes, when I got there and told him Jax's story and why I needed one he let me have it for 15....LOLI also got a shelf with material cubbies for a good price...she had 45, I bought the same exact ones for 65 and wanted a matching one and asked her if she would go down without the actual material pull out cubbies and she said she would take 20 because the containers is what cost...she is correct they are about 10 bucks a piece new and she had 6 but I had extra and didn't need them(They didnt match mine).So there are deals sometimes! 4951
Just sold a leather kk essay and ottoman for $50.00. It is in excellent condition but over 10 years old. I agree. We got our use out of it and now a 20 something college student will get to enjoy it! 4951
