A Brief Butter Mold Rant, LOL!

<p>[QUOTE="buyingtime777, post: 260477, member: 188"]There could be many reasons why the items are "overpriced". The seller may not know the true value, they may have overpaid, they may like the item and not be to keen on selling it but an inflated price would ease the pain, and many more. If I see an item wildly overpriced I keep walking. I would be insulted if someone lectured me on my price and then made an offer considerably lower then the price I was asking. If I was overpriced due to ignorance of value I am not inclined to take the word of an aggressive buyer on the spot to give a huge discount. It would require research at a later date so I could learn for myself. You will not be making any friends with that tactic and you may hurt yourself in the future when the price margin may be more reasonable and you make an offer that the seller would usually accept but they remember you from an insulting experience so they won't budge. Just my opinion but it sounds like you may be insulting some sellers in your quest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
