If I ever figure 'em out, I'll be a bazillionaire! I've had an item listed like FOREVER and it just would not sell. It's an obsolete electrical item and can easily be replaced with an upgraded part, so it's pretty much a good paperweight. Every once-in-a-while you get something like that and I always figure I'll simply keep the listing going until I have a garage sale, then see if it'll disappear that way. So, the listing continued on and plenty of people "looked" at it, but nobody would pull the trigger. I finally got tired of it sitting on the shelf gathering dust, so I decided to try blowing it out at some ridiculously low price, but at the last minute, decided to try a bit of psychology.
I've had it listed at $79.95 for at least a year, with plenty of looky-loos .... lot's o' nibbles, but no bites. I relisted it at $99.95 or best offer. Within hours, I received an offer of $80.00! WTF??? :crazy
