[QUOTE="olisuds, post: 401171, member: 2119"] I think you both make a good point. You are right Matt that sellers sometimes use it to justify overpricing an item but at the same time genuine sellers use it to prevent buyers low balling them. Sometimes buyers sense a sellers desperation for immediate cash and will take advantage of the situation. On a number of occassions when I've had to shift something quickly to raise funds for something else, I've had well below par offers from buyers saying something along the lines of "Hey I know its a lot less than the asking price but if you need cash quickly I can pay you X straight away". The alternative might be selling something on a payment plan which sometimes doesn't help your immediate need. Stating that you are in no rush to sell or that you really don't want to sell a piece is a good way of telling lowballers to **** off and not try it on :-) At the end of the day some buyers try it on just as much as some sellers.
