Tyrel Cody Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I find that $175 with FREE shipping" or "$175, shipped sells best. "$160 + $15 shipping" pretty much guarantees a PM that tells me "they'll take it if I cover shipping". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll take it for half the asking price, free overnight shipping AND a guarantee you'll pay for return shipping and double their money back if they don't want it.

Sedalia Dave Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Once new a guy that wouldn't buy a pig for $20.00 but if you tried to sell him the same pig for $30.00 and let him talk you into selling it for $25.00 he would buy it and tell all his friends about the great deal he got.

Pat Riot Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 $175 is $175 no matter how the words get it out of your pocket or get you the thing that you want. If I want something at a price the phrasing of the price really doesn’t matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Slim Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I look at the price of something from the angle of "Will she cut them off with a sharp knife or a dull one? Will I be sleeping, drugged or wide awake while she does it?" Is it worth it, or not Usually not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an actual sales tactic. It's been shown that if you price something too low often you'll have a harder time finding buyers, as they often wonder why its such a good deal to begin with. When you price high and agree to a discount you'll be surprised how many buyers you reel in. Human nature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want something at a price the phrasing of the price really doesn’t matter. Tell that to the oil industry. all your vehicle fuel is priced at $x.xx 9/10 But Bobs discount gas is $x.xx 8/10 people will drive across town to save a nickle per gallon. and on your average car that adds up to about $1 in savings, but it was a nickle cheaper But I do agree, for the most part if I want it i pay what it costs and don't try to shop around.

Ramblin Gambler Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I can only speak as a consumer. Prices that include shipping usually get more attention from me. But the way you posted the options, they both technically include shipping. What I dislike is when I have to dig around for the shipping cost.
