I received a letter which although not abusive, the tone was. I was instructed that I must sell my lens for £20 as it was not digital, or words to that effect. A bit of nostalgia: I can remember when, universally, any secondhand item had a maximum value of the price of a new one. Harold

Re: Just my 2 cents
I'm sure we've all seen ads, here and on other forums, where the price causes a certain raising of an eyebrow. I always resist any temptation to pass comment - either publicly or privately. If the seller can find a willing buyer then good luck to him/her. If not, then either the price will get reduced or the item won't sell. That's just market forces.
Likewise, I'm never offended by a low offer (I can always say no) and if I do decide to make an offer on another person's listing, I'm never offended if I get a negative response. That's the nature of dealing! |

Re: Just my 2 cents
I think do not factor in the use they have had of the item till they sell it. That is worth something.

![]() People seem to get carried away on eBay, often paying silly prices because the seller advertises something as a 'rare item', or because they simply haven't bothered to check the price of a new one. ![]() I wonder how many 'chancers' advertise things on eBay at silly prices knowing that soon enough a fool will come along and buy them?
