<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 1442187, member: 10944"]Yeh sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I suppose there are times when it could hurt. The excitement wears off, people get sick of seeing it listed for months with regular price reductions. It could go either way. I do it item by item. Some I could see some random person paying more for than something is worth and others I know there’s a specific competitive well known price range something is very unlikely to sell outside of. Sometimes I’ll get way more than something is worth in a local sale. Someone who isn’t keyed into pricing or collecting and just sees something and buys it without checking to see if they can get it cheaper elsewhere. With this one while I always appreciate any replies and comments I get I actually don’t know any more than when I started. I knew it was “ugly”, broken, and unlikely to sell for my asking price if at all. Just hoping someone may recognize the factory mark to satisfy my curiosity. I don’t anticipate it will sell until I reduce the price by about 60%-70% or so. Just hopeful for that one grandma who loves Italian porcelain, music, and birds and has a blonde grandson whom this boy reminds her of maybe. It only takes one <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: whoops triple quote!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
