Rules:

Please note: Lowballers will be "outed".

I don't think this is in any way advantageous to potential buyer or you as seller.

 

Why? First of all, IF an offer is made privately, I'm not sure what benefit there would be to anyone by "outing" an offer you deem to be a lowball offer.

 

Furthermore, if your asking price is out of line with market pricing, what you consider to be a "lowball" offer may be market correct.

 

Conversely, if you accept an offer that others might construe as well below market, you don't do the market (or yourself) any good by completing a transaction that is "lowball" by most other's definition.

 

By the way, your precode horror books are simply outstanding. Good luck with the sale.

Good points, well made.

 

I guess I'm just trying to scare the 20% offer-ers away. Every sales thread I've done since I joined here has had at least 3 people who think 20 for a 100 book is a fair and good offer that I'd be nuts to pass on. I'm getting out, so I'm trying to get at least as much as I put into the books in return. I don't want the hassle of negotiations that go nowhere. I ain't gonna take 20 cents on the dollar! ;)

Rules:

Please note: Lowballers will be "outed".

I don't think this is in any way advantageous to potential buyer or you as seller.

 

Why? First of all, IF an offer is made privately, I'm not sure what benefit there would be to anyone by "outing" an offer you deem to be a lowball offer.

 

Furthermore, if your asking price is out of line with market pricing, what you consider to be a "lowball" offer may be market correct.

 

Conversely, if you accept an offer that others might construe as well below market, you don't do the market (or yourself) any good by completing a transaction that is "lowball" by most other's definition.

 

By the way, your precode horror books are simply outstanding. Good luck with the sale.

 

Good points, well made.

 

I guess I'm just trying to scare the 20% offer-ers away. Every sales thread I've done since I joined here has had at least 3 people who think 20 for a 100 book is a fair and good offer that I'd be nuts to pass on. I'm getting out, so I'm trying to get at least as much as I put into the books in return. I don't want the hassle of negotiations that go nowhere. I ain't gonna take 20 cents on the dollar! ;)

The best way to deal with that 'Guv is to not even respond...

 

I love your books though.
