This can be a win win for both of us, especially if these don't sell on ebay again. smile



You can also point out to the seller that if they sell on eBay, he's going to owe eBay a percentage on the sale. I don't know what the fees are these days, but it can be significant on a $1,000+ transaction. I haven't sold anything on eBay in years, but IIRC, eBay & PayPal would usually get somewhere around 8%-10% of the total sale price; listing + insertion + auction close + PayPal fees.

So, a $1,400 cash-in-hand, local-pickup, do-it-right-now-sale will probably net him more than a $1,500 eBay auction, especially if PayPal is involved.

Yes that is a great point. ebay end of auction is now at 9% so that's $135 on $1500. It's local pickup only so he might not take paypal but that's another 3%-$45 so we're almost back to $1300.

Hey, I like this!!!!! grin

Well that didn't work so I came home empty handed. BUT they still haven't sold so we'll see if he emails me back.

Offer the $1400 if you can test the speakers. If he says no, give him your number and say something like "If you change your mind, you'll have my number"

Almost always, the person will call the next day. Dont let him sucker you into paying more than you feel comfortable with (or can afford).

Set your price, give him your info, walk away. If he is patient, he can probably find people that will go over you. If he is like most people, he will take the easy route and just sell to you.

That's pretty much what I did when I left there the other day. He has my email and I told him to let me know if he wanted to sell them for $1400 if they didn't sell on ebay. They didn't sell but I haven't heard from him yet. He may have sold them already but I'm going to email him again tonight to confirm.

It would be a great deal but if it doesn't work out, there will be other deals. smile

Well, we're both at the end of our ropes on this deal. He won't take less than $1500 and I'm just not there.

Too bad because he has one set of beautiful, mint speakers for a very good price.

You guys are so close on price, you should be able to work something out.
