I hope the other one was $31 cheaper!

When I reposted it I knocked it down to a lower price than he claimed. Now he hasn't actually responded to that even though he would have gotten notified because of the way marketplace works.

But I'm petty more than I need the money (well...) So I would like to say , "Apparently that was the going rate".
 
I'm the same way. Yes, I want the money, no question, but it wouldn't be out of the question for me to feel it's worth scorching us both if I feel the other person deserves it. He seems to have a 'ah, fuck that guy' attitude with this transaction, so definitely fuck this guy.
 
I know I'm late to the party but I'm of the opinion the deposit is yours whether he goes through with the purchase or doesn't.

That is the POINT of a deposit. Otherwise you would just hold it for someone until later. The deposit puts skin i the game for the buyer to lessen the chance they back out. If the buyer doesn't understand what a deposit is, thats on them.
 
I hope you put on your metaphorical sunglasses and gave some badass line like:

"Wanna know what I have in common with this transaction? Zero interest."
or "Time is money, and you need to make change."
or "You're like a stack of bills, bud- no cents."
or "Deposit this, bitch" with a picture of a middle finger.

Cue CSI: Miami title sequence.
 
Selling a big lot of Attitude Era and Monday Night War WWE figures on Marketplace. A bunch of rarities here that should go for a pretty penny. Sure, they're loose and missing a few spare hands, but you'd be paying close to 100 to 150 a piece for some of these, so I think what I'm asking is fair at 350. 14 figures, some that were Amazon exclusives, Walmart exclusives, etc.

Getting a few offers that, of course, favor them more than it does me. I'm getting some that aren't ridiculous for like 250. But when I ask them to meet me in the middle at 300, you know how it is. It's MY 50 that's expected to be lost rather than theirs, and they act like you need to eat it rather than them. And frankly, I'm not desperate enough, and I know what I have, so I'll wait for the best deal possible. Just trying to pare down and clear space.

I've been getting some Gen Z'ers who have said things like "I wouldn't give more than 280, ngl", so it's been fun trying to communicate with them as a 43 year old man who still unironically uses "Yeah, baby, yeah" in an Austin Powers voice. There is also a complete lack of any negotiating ability or proper communicative skills that are on full display that just makes me bitter old man yelling at cloud over here. "Ahhh, youse lousy youts don't know how to barter correctly"! I really, truly wonder how these fuckers will negotiate contracts or salary when they hit the workforce.

"I stg, bruh, I will not be taking less than 100k, ngl, no cap. On God. I will not be mog by some chopped mid".

Sigh, I digress.

But my favorite I received this morning was "Can you do $100? My brother likes Ultimates, so that would be cool".

Oh. Well, shit. I was unaware that your brother was into these. Allow me to lose my ass on these, please. Of course. Actually, can I pay YOU 100 to take these? It would be my greatest honor.

I just said "lol, no" and blocked the idiot. Fuck you and your brother. How do these fuckwits think that is going to go? Genuinely? Automatically insulted with shit offers like that.
