LaughingLollipop Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I often run into prospective buyers of my items saying things like "its duped" "I've contacted you and the other seller" "What is your lowest price" "There are 43 other ones" etc. Is there anyone left stupid enough to bother negotiating with people who spend 90% of their time insulting the item they're trying to buy?

Pigeon Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 They're trying to get the best deal for themselves, as you're trying to get the best deal for yourself. There is nothing wrong with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 It's called haggling. It's annoying sure, but isn't that how trading goes for everyone? ...also flexin that sweet block list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfpt Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 if somebody asks a question like "what is your lowest price", simply say "i'm not comfortable answering that question". you're not obligated to answer questions a buyer has. They want a good deal as much as you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the block button solves my problems quite well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfpt Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 why block legitimate traders? this only hinders your chance of getting deals in the future. why do this instead of just saying you're not interested and declining? your block list is humongous and im pretty sure the majority of that is legitimate traders, given I dont have a tenth of that number and i block all scammers i encounter. nobody is EVER obligated to answer any questions the other has in a trade. if you are offering someone and you ask them what their offer is, that assumes that they had an offer in the first place. if they offer you, and they dont give you a price, simply tell them what you are willing to sell for and they will negotiate from there. blocking is unreasonable and leads only to you getting a lack of trades in the future.

hugh Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Or alternatively, when they ask in regards to your lowest price, give them a proper answer. Doesn't have to be an absurd discount but giving them a straight answer denies them the ability to haggle further as they have already requested for your lowest price and you've answered the call When they start shittalking the items they apparently want to buy, just prompt them along with saying something like 'gosh sounds like you really dislike this item actually, are you sure you actually want to buy it?' You do not acknowledge their claims, you do not verify or deny their validity since 1. You're not likely to change their opinion even if you reason with them and they are in fact wrong 2. You don't want to enter a pointless debate about your items because above reason Being diplomatic helps What I usually say "its duped" --> 'Yes, that's correct' "I've contacted you and the other seller" --> 'Okay' If they start talking about having negotiated with the other seller and you're not interested, simply inform them that you will not be taking your competitor's price into consideration "What is your lowest price" -as above "There are 43 other ones" - 'Okay' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
