Haggle away!

Sure it must happen a lot in PMs and stuff then maybe less so on the threads themselves. Though I’ve seen haggling here and there.

Nice one, cheers for the heads up. Will haggle away!

There's no rule against it. Most people are offering mates rates or just process that send things to a good home... So I'd understand if people didn't appreciate being haggled with as it's already a steal. Likewise if someone is a pain during the buying process, do you really want to sell to them and potentially have them being a pain later?

What to do if you're want to sell an item but have no idea whatsoever of it's value?

I've got a set of track wheels Mavic MA2 anodised with Campag hubs and Continental tub tyres but I can only find one similar set.

They're in the USA and want $650 for them. (Think they've got 2 hopes at that price ) !

I'm selling them for a close friend but firstly, don't want to undersell them and secondly, he wants them to be used. They are like new and have never been used outside.

Any useful information or guidance would be very much appreciated 👍

What’s my xyz worth thread

Thanks very much.

I couldn't find it for looking!

I've put the details of them up on that thread.

Help me out please.

Sold an item, posted with tracking,asked buyer to let me know when item arrived, waited a week, checked tracking, attempted delivery twice, on the third go they couldn't find the address (?), just checked again, and apparently it's on its way back to me.
I've contacted the buyer on here by pm, and text on the phone number they gave me, nowt, nada, zip, diddly squat, not a dicky bird.
What to do?

How did they pay?

PayPal

All sorted, well kind of, contact has been made.

@Velocio you've just posted:

As Maj correctly points out though, need to add a price.

I see others frequently stating this too.
Forum rules state that putting a price is only advisory. If this is your position should they be amended?

no, it's there to stop fishing expeditions to price items... not enforced if someone is serious about selling an item at a reasonable price.

👍🏼

Is there an established procedure for items sold between forum users that are lost in transit? Is the onus on seller to refund in part/full or is buyer left without?

How did you pay for it?

I'm the seller. Buyer paid using PP f&f. I sent tracked but foolishly discarded receipt after a couple of weeks having not heard that there were any issues, then buyer got in touch to let me know it hadn't arrived

Buyer took the chance by paying f&f.

Any chance you took a photo of the receipt? I guess you went to posted and paid at the counter and not one of the click and drop service?

Yes, paid at the counter. No photo of receipt sadly but have the transaction on my bank statement as (a not very good) proof of postage

Never tried it but possibly go back to the counter and see if they can reprint you a receipt?
