STIS: When selling used furniture on Craigslist, how do you price it relative to it's original price?

Posted by ty97 Mar 18 '13, 14:39

Obviously discounted quite a bit. But, for example, great condition 2-year-old stuff. How do you price it?

Responses:

completely disregard the original price. See what similar items are going for. that's you're price. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 14:43
I search Craigslist as though I was buying, get a sense of their stuff compared to mine, then price it. -- nm - TFox Mar 18, 14:42
I usually price by the item. People need dining room tables, sofas et al. Age is important only to a degree. - David Mar 18, 14:41 10
- (But if you feel confident it will sell, list it at 50% off and add obo) -- nm - David Mar 18, 14:41 9
  - I figure obo is always implied, and always list higher than what I want because everyone negotiates. - ty97 Mar 18, 14:44 8
    - note: if you start out too high, without saying OBO, a lot of people will not bother. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 14:48 6
      - I don't think I've ever had a person on CL not try to haggle for a lower price. -- nm - kelly Mar 18, 14:55 3
        
        if someone was put off by your price, they didn't contact you. - loosilu Mar 18, 14:57 2
        
        she said people *always* haggle. -- nm - Andie Mar 18, 14:57 1
        
        is that what I'm arguing? it is not. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 14:58
      - I doubt that -- nm - ty97 Mar 18, 14:49 1
        
        yes. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 14:52
    - yeah, list low. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 14:44
