Hi all,
I''m selling a secondhand item online (craigslist and the like) and I''ve received inquiries asking if I''m willing to negotiate the price. I am, but I don''t know how to do it. Should I let the potential buyer make the first offer, or should I make an offer first?
On one hand I don''t want to lowball it so much that I miss out on a good sale price, and other the other hand I don''t want to scare buyers off by asking for too much.
This is a big ticket item so its not a small amount that is at stake. To give you an idea, my asking price is $3400 but I am willing to go down. I''m not sure how much lower, it would depend on how motivated to sell I become.
Does anyone have any tips? It would be much appreciated!
