I've noticed several times people advertising second hand items for near new prices I've even have made them aware of it, because people using this site are not dumb(mostly)  |
Shipping varies quite a bit on larger items, especially if insurance is required by the buyer so it really is only feasible to calculate accurately after a buyer is found.
I think buyers do need to do their homework regards an acceptable price.
Personally I find some "Low-Ball" offers insulting (
so much so that I will refuse to deal with the person even if they should then offer more)......
I've had people offer $2K for a scope advertised for $4K and they then get upset when I refuse to deal with them at all ......
