my respone is this, i don't usually sell on ebay- here is why
in most cases the buyer will cry if he is hung with a new rope
treat the sellers like you would like to be treated.
if you are realistic, you'll rarely be disappointed.
If it is the ebay industryrecycler i'm thinking of, they are tough to buy from...try other sellers. Don't get upset if they "flame" you. Just apologize and let them "stew" for a while. Come back later just a few bucks higher and quite often if it hasn't sold they get tired of looking at it and cut their losses. Off the top of my head, i've gotten Hastelloy TIG rod , Prosoy cleaner, Lots of NOS T15 end mills, HSS taps all at 1/4 to 1/2 their asking price. Usually they bought a "Lot" of items and already made their money back 2-10 times over already. That's how I look at it as a buyer. But I sell alot too . When i'm selling, I always shoot for the moon . Can't blame them. You would be surprised how often buyers just want it now, and pays "full" for it . When you've got time on your hands, most things will sell. Eventually the market always equalizes itself. When people low ball me i kindly just say no , and even tell them no prob on the low ball, i don't blame you bc i'd do the same thing . Who wouldn't try to get something for the lowest they can get it ? Gotta take the emotion out of it, then buying and selling gets easier. With that said, I am looking at a part for a 6507 Milwaukee sawzall , still in very good shape but it's varispeed transistor went. It will rot before I pay the guy $25 for that part ...pride got me , lol and his part will probably rot bc I dont think too many people looking for a transistor for a 1990's sawzall when u can buy a new one for like $139 . ahh the woes of ebay, craigs , buying and sellingThe nerve of people to post such a thing and expect to get that kind of price for it. As far as I'm concern, it can sit there and rot before I pay such a price for it. It will be the last one on earth available before it sells in my book!

Yep. I found a 16x60 lathe I am interested in. Its 3 hours away from me so I sent the seller some questions to find out alittle more about it before I made the trip with truck and trailer. No response from the seller and no bids on it either. Oh well.ahh the woes of ebay, craigs , buying and selling
