What's more silly, making a silly thread or posting in a thread you find silly?Luke wrote:This is a silly thread. No clue why high prices would upset someone.
Don't like the price, simply don't buy it. And if you were selling something for $300, and someone offered you $20, you'd also give them a fart face.

Because you "Hate" people who don't know the value of everything. And now you are also stating that no one knows how to price anything these days. Your words, not mine.Luke wrote:mas wrote: luke,
How is this thread silly? I'm just stating that people don't know what things are really worth anymore.
Again, if you don't like the price, don't offer less than 10% of what they are asking and then get upset when they don't accept your offer. What did you expect to happen? The seller take your offer and throw in a balloon?[/quote
I just stating out that people think that they buy something and they think they are going to get full price after 10 years or so. I just was asking other people on this site how they feel and if they had ever seen stuff like that before. Don't get mad its sunday and its 80 outside. Go swimming like I am in a few minutes. It's a perfect day out.

Just trying to kick the truth to the young youth.
Value is in the eye of the buyer, price is variable depending on the seller. I spent years of my life studying pricing theories, but it all boils down to you can sell anything at any price if there is an interested buyer.
No reason to hate a seller if you don't like the price.

Not upset at all, just don't get your argument.
Pass on the pool. 1 in 4 people admit to peeing in the pool every time they frequent it.
A nice bike ride, or taking the dog for a walk might suit me.

Cool I wasn't trying to get u mad luke. If she want's to sell the 64 for that price it's cool but I was metoning that story today because I see that all the time that's all.

Oh, you are fine in my book.
It is just the way you worded things. Had the subject line been "Can you believe this shit?" I wouldn't have even commented. "Hate" is just a strong word to use.
I'm going to have a frozen banana and walk my pup. I was going to ask if seeing a grown man eat a frozen banana walking down the street is weird, but I already answered my own question.

Sometimes it's best to just nod, smile and go on your way. It's their time and money wrapped in the games, system, table fee and gas. Maybe one day they'll wake up and realize they've priced themselves out of existence.

Re: I hate people who make this comment at the flea market/e
I don't think most sellers for this kind of stuff, like at flea markets or on ebay, actually understand that what makes you money is throughput, rather than nickel and dimes.
If you put out a table and everything on it is overpriced stuff ... no one is going to buy it ... and even if someone pays $500 or something for that item the seller says is rare ... they're likely losing money just from having a table there to sell that one thing.
While it is annoying ... especially on eBay, since it sort of skews the entire market ... it's something I try to ignore and move on. Maybe make some jokes with friends about it.
