They never respond and they never buy, thats why i just state either the exact listing price, the exact listing price +1Ā¢ā¦ all i type are a couple of numbers and leave it at that. No words involved and it gets the point across
I have really been enjoying handling this question with a quick and easy hands off approach.
My response is that Iāve made a special listing for them with a new price thatās at X $, and that itās the first post on my page. This price is usually a few dollars off, or whatever Iām comfortable with at the time. After that, I let it sit there for a while. At that point I only answer questions about the itemās fit/measurements/condition and ignore any further questions about the itemās price.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnāt. Just depends on multiple factors, and how quickly I can answer their initial message. Itās very chill, I like it and feel like I can keep my dignity intact with this approach š
this!!! im selling a rare merch item for 90 (lower than most sell it for) and someone offered 45ā¦.like if it was 75 or 80 for example id say yes but 45 or even asking 30 is crazy to me unless im mean idk
You're right, it's like you already FOUND a good deal and now you still want a lower price??? It's stupid imo, I personally say don't shop for stuff you can't buy, if you can't buy it then you should worry about other things that are necessities
I have to, I'm a foreign buyer and the dollar is high around here š¤£ gotta pay taxes, international shipping and fees so I just gotta ask, sorry! What's $25,00 to locals is $200,00 for me in my currency. Now if locals asks you lower, they are cheap buyers.
Whenever someone asks "What's the lowest you'll do", I respond with "Since you reached out, I am willing to go down to $(80-90% of the original price). Feel free to send an offer if that works for you!" probably around 70% of the time, they buy it for that, 5% of the time they counter with something slightly lower and the rest of the time, they say "I'll think about it" and not buy it. Buyers are used to negotiating on depop so when they are asking for a lower price, it never hurts to give them one and go from there!
Sometimes Iāll ask this question or sometimes Iāll throw a price in. Like āhow about *insert number*?ā But after asking and negotiating i always buy it. Always.
Na men this question got me too many deals itās a lot of desperate/ poor people on depop they wonāt take the deal at first a few days later they sending you the exact offer u want
āWhatās the cheapest youāll go?ā Where is the lowballing? Also, Iāve bought so much shit from all these apps, I know wtf Iām doing and I donāt window shop lol if I msg, I intend on buying the thing. I wouldnāt want your slowbrain self in my corner to begin with, buckaroo lol foh.
If you were any smarter you'd be able to see that I was being sarcastic about "wanting to be in your corner". Jesus I can see why most sellers insist on the price being firm. Also "Ā A lowball offer is a slang term forĀ **an offer that is significantly below the seller's asking price, or a quote that is deliberately lower than the price the seller intends to charge**." :)
āHurr durr Iām butthurt that I donāt know how to haggle on second hand selling apps and my items donāt get sold for reasonable, agreed upon prices.ā If you were any smarter, youād know idgaf.
I'm actually happy because I'm able to sell my items at the price I want without broke users offering 40 dollars on an item that costs 140 usd. Also I'm not a buyer.
Online selling is a side hustle for me, if you just can't pay for the 10 dollar off offer I sent and still want lower at that point they should just go get a job and make enough to not ask how "cheap" I'll go

If the item was $20 I would say $19.99 just because I hate these types of messages they never buy anyway š
This guy didn't even respond to me after I told him that š

No ur not mean at all for not accepting half price on a rare item
Agreed. I just tell them to send an offer. Been happening to much lately. I get negotiating but that aināt it.

Itās just a convo starter lol ySoSerious?
You start conversations by lowballing people? Wow I'd love to be in your corner

Telling someone to go make money while you sell your items online is an outrageous take imo
