Cool anecdote! Thanks for sharing. It seems to be a rather sensible strategy, considering they'll gradually falter as they lose confidence in selling the item for their asking price. Definitely learned something new todayVery well put. I often implore the same/similar tactic myself. Just recently I inquired about a PB1, mint in box, and dude messages me back with an $800 dollar price tag, and he said that, that was much lower than the $1300 dollars he's seen them listed for! (He was obviously basing his price off of ebay pricing). I told him that was a bit more than I was looking to spend, but thanked him for reaching out, and told him good luck with his sale. I few days went by and he messaged me back asking if I'd take them for $600, we finally settled for a little less than that, and I couldn't be happier, but there was no way in H e l l I was going to pay inflated ebay prices for them, especially if all I need to do is be patient for a little bit, and get exactly what I'm looking for here on the OF at a much more reasonable price
I avoid ebay at all costs if I can help it, but, having said that, I have landed some awesome deals there too, like my Xm XX for example, got it earlier this year for $450. Its also in mint condition with oem rubbers, but no lenses. I felt like I got a great deal right there, but those are few and far between these days.....
