The History Kid Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 If I had an affordable way to get them back here, I'd get them myself. I have the money, just no way to transport it to make it worth it sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceptorman Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Don't you hate some of the deadbeats on CL sometimes? People that leave their post up after it sells, don't answer calls or emails, raise the price if they get a lot of interest. Maybe CL needs some sort of rating system like Ebay, at least you would have a slight idea what kind of seller you're dealing with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe CL needs some sort of rating system like Ebay, at least you would have a slight idea what kind of seller you're dealing with. Yup, yup and yup! However, I feel compelled to share something with you guys: A few days ago, I found a pair of RB-25's on eBay for $80 + $30 shipping. Great price right? Well, the grills are all nasty and messed up, and from the looks of it, they haven't been kept in the best of condition. Those speakers ended without a single bid. Within hours of that auction ending, the seller put them back up, this time for $150 + $30 shipping. I mean...come on...dude...seriously!

jimjimbo Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Well, there might have been some sense in that....could be that low price means low quality, and by repricing it higher the seller could have appealed to a different group. Something similar happened to me quite some time ago when I was selling my first house....had it priced at a certain level, and no lookers and no offers for 3 months. Raised the price by $25K, and it sold in a week. Could have been coincidence, but then, maybe not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The History Kid Posted October 8, 2014 Author Share Posted October 8, 2014 Interesting input on that front. Not sure that's what happened in that case, but certainly something to keep in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raised the price by $25K, and it sold in a week. Could have been coincidence, but then, maybe not. I've always been fascinated by this tactic. I first learned of it when my girlfriend's father made a really cool t-shirt and a local shop put it up for him. He priced it at $30 and it sat there for months. He then raised the price to $300(!) and it sold within a week. There was also some entry-level vodka brand that did this to boost sales. Raised the price of a bottle from $10 to $35 and suddenly people assumed it was high quality stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things look naaassstty! I am in the market for a pair of RB-25s and RB-10s. Even at standard price. I'll post an alert thread to that effect soon, assuming the sale of my RF-82s goes through today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been coincidence, but then, maybe not. yea, saw a doc aboot the concorde plane. losing money hand over fist, put a new ceo in charge and he put out a survey to businessmen aboot what they thought their tickets cost. since their secretaries usually handled the arrangements, they had no idea. they answered with a cost that was usually twice the actual cost.......so the ceo raised the price, and the concorde was suddenly a huge moneymaker!
