3. If they make an offer, I will counter. If they make a ridiculous offer, I will not even respond. I accepted an offer for $20 for a dog cage listed at $25 and told them to be here to pick it up by 8. They had an hour and about 5 of 8 I get a text they would get here at 8:03. I told them the price was $25 after 8. Oddly, they made it before 8.
4. I give an approximate location, I do not give my address until the people are ready to pick up.
5. If any negotiation has occurred prior to arrival, any attempt to negotiate after arrival will cost more than previously agreed. I call it, "The reopen negotiation charge."
6. If they sit, they get scrapped.

All pretty good rules. $20 used to be my number, but now going to move it to I think like $50. Was going to be $100 but looking back at the stuff I have sold that would only have been like 1 or 2 things.....



I never give out my address or meet at my house. I meet at a gas station a mile or two down the road.

If they sit they get scrapped is where I am at, I am just go to be a lot more firm on this policy.
