HotKey Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 This reminds me of some fast food places actually charging more for a value meal than buying all the stuff individually. Taco Bell used to be the worst on their 99 cent menus, you could get the meal for $2.99 or all 3 items individually for 99 cents each, or $2.97 total. McDonalds had it on several of their meals too for a while after their dollar menu came out. People don't usually like to math. djzombi and Juno Beach 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post shadroch Posted July 14, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2021 Place I used to frequent had something similar. You could get an 8 ounce Prime Rib, salad, potato and a slice of pie for $7.99. You could upgrade to a 16 ounce Prime Rib for an additional $8. Or you could buy another $7.99 dinner and get a second salad, potato and piece of pie. Off Panel, Juno Beach, djzombi and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A day later I get an offer from the seller to buy the same comics for less than my original offer. Not quite the same, but once someone was selling here, I sent an offer on 2 or 3 books which he politely declined. A few days later he dropped the price in his thread below what I had offered, and I took them. Surprised he didn't check back to see if I was still interested. kav and Buzzetta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member thanked me for my offer but didn't want to go that low. A couple days later he cut it to $10 under my offer. Scrooge and ttfitz 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made an offer on several that wound up being about 20% off the listed prices, they declined. 2 days later, offers on half the books for 33% off showed up.

I had hoped to sell them quickly and priced them at $50 each. In two weeks, I recieved eight offers for them, all between $39 and $46. I felt $50 was more than fair and rejected them all. Yesterday, I raised the price of the book to $65 each and woke up to five overnite offers of more than $50. I got $56, 55 and 53 for them. Im tempted to raise the prices on a few more slow sellers.

Youre selling feelings. Sell the sizzle, not the steak. Grade A organic grass fed steak has the best sizzle. It’s best if you sell both. Don’t sell inferior cuts of beef. (poorly described comics).
