“How much do you want for it?” Shit, I don’t know. That’s why I said make an offer, dammit. Then I say “$350-400 ish” and they freak out saying it’s too expensive. I’m selling two working subs in a high-end box. Each sub goes for $350 on ebay. Used. Do the damn math.

Solution: Don’t be that guy posting for sale ads without an asking price

I used to sell stuff on craigslist that I would list at lower-than-most prices hoping for quick sales. All I ever got was people low balling those prices.

Now I list things for 175%/offer of the price I actually want to get and things actually sell faster.

Yeah. I just realized how utterly screwed I got when I bought these things. Ugh.

About 10 years ago I bought a 1000+ watt sub used. Never made a box for it, never hooked it up. I don’t even know if it works.

JL 13w7 I guess it was about the time I lost interest in my jeep.

Badass speaker. Those things have a hell of a lot of travel.

ALWAYS have a solid asking price and make it known. “Best offer” is a terrible way to make money, and a great way to get a ton of lowballers. Asking “$350-$400ish” just means they’ll start asking at $350, and they’ll expect to get it for less than that. Either ask for your bottom dollar and state it explicitly, or add 50% markup to the asking price and be willing to negotiate.

Just put like “ $600 $400” to make them feel like you cut the price down to give them a good deal.

It’s kind of sad how effective that can be.
