I see what Terry mentioned. Price things at a price they might sell at. Get to the last day and they are so much percent off. Still may or may not be even a decent buy. Then around here, they charge the owners for disposal of unsold items, which I have seen placed on Craig's list and eBay.
Usually if they have no idea what it is, they price it high most times.
I looked at a small 9"'craftsman lathe, right after I bought my Sheldon. No price on it and they were taking offers. I looked it over the best I could. It had been tipped over pretty hard at some time. No tool post or any tooling, along with missing teeth on gears. I offered $300, the howls of pain of such an insult. They had an offer of $1500, so they said. It had to be moved up a fair sized flight of stairs.
It later saw it on Craig's list for $2000...........
