what i hate is when people don't say a price when WTS

i get extra annoyed because i had to waste time and effort (minimal, sure) just to hear your ridiculous asking price

Even worse are the people who don't say a price and then tell you to make them an offer when you send them a tell asking for a price.

This is an ideal way to gauge general interest in the item as a seller.

This is an ideal way to be extra annoying in your transaction because it very transparently shows that you are hoping to scrape every coin possible from the interaction by hoping that the second party isn't knowledgeable about the pricing of the item and offers above the average rate. But you do you.

Yes, generally speaking when trying to sell something I want to get as much money as possible for it. Sorry not sorry. This isn't walmart, in this house we haggle and make deals and prices are elastic based on demand.

You didn't get what I was saying there. Starting that way sets a bad tone for the interaction. I'm sure I'm not the only one put off by these tactics. When people pull the crap of selling something but refusing to name a price, I just say "ok, good luck" a move on. Not at all interested in those kind of games.

I bought a couple hair removal lasers this week. The first woman wanted $17.50 for an IPL (intense flashed light) kit worth $200+, so I offered her $25.00 to come meet me. She was like "Okay."

It's a nice item, but it's tediously time consuming. Just to get my legs done, this laser is better for body hair, took an hour. I have to do it every 2 weeks.

I'm waiting on a different type of laser that I can use for my face worth $400 dollars that another woman was asking $175 for. I offered $100 and she dropped to $140. I said okay. Free shipping, too. Tax came to about $150, so all together $175 for $650 of freaking lasers.

Whole body laser hair removal costs thousands of dollars (per visit!) and these products can achieve similar results over the course of a year, which is about how long professional hair removal would take anyway, so I'm eager to get started.

Wish me luck!
