<p>[QUOTE="Jimmy Guthrie, post: 9819017, member: 86436"]I had the chairs listed for 6 weeks, dropping the asking price to $450 for the set. I got maybe 6 inquiries but only one person came to see them after 6 weeks. They decided the chairs were too small- a legitimate concern. I then messaged everyone who had expressed interest and said I needed to get them out of my house ASAP and would sell to the highest bidder. Only one person responded and said he was a couple hours away and would come tomorrow but would Venmo me the money to hold the chairs, and asked what my best price was. Simultaneously another person, not one of the previous interested parties, popped up out of nowhere and said they were coming immediately to pick them up. I said if you’ll pay $450 for the set, it’s a deal. When they arrived, it ended up being someone who taught my kids in middle school. The chairs were for his adult daughter. Small world. </p><p><br /></p><p>So no action for 6 weeks, then a scramble at the end and a “full price” sale. I think everyone was happy, and I know they will take good care of the chairs. Thanks again for the help![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
