That's where I aspire to be. I just can't believe the amount of people where it is a deal-breaker.

Me either. It's pretty silly, especially when it's not the higher end Mezco-type stuff. Like, you really want the box that Lando came in? Fucking why?

My wife does most of our selling as she has more time for it than I do, and a better temperament for it. But even she loses it sometimes with these chuckledicks responding to an ad with seven pictures of a loose figure and a complete description of a loose figure with all accessories photographed and listed like "does it have the box?"
Motherfucker, EVERY element of this ad makes it clear that it does not. You are just too stupid to be allowed direct control of money or telephones. Go away.
 
Why are y'all interacting with people like that at all? Is the app/site forcing you to respond? I ignore stuff like that completely - actually, I don't even get much of that.
 
I would say 90% of the time, IF we respond at all, it's just because the market here is terrible and you want to give yourself the chance to just sell the thing. I'd say it's probably 50/50 if someone asks 'do you have the box' that the box is actually a dealbreaker. So sometimes you can be like 'no, only what's in the ad' and they still say some equivalent of 'ah, okay - I'll take it anyway.' So it's worth it at that point.
I'd only shut it down if it becomes combative or goes on for more than like.. two responses. We established the answer to your question, either you want it or you do not.
 
Well the other thing is possibly getting "do you have the box? Oh, then would you take less than half the listing price?"
Doesn't hurt to try, right? Well, perhaps it should.
