RANT: people and their prices for used equipment Posted on: 26.12.2011 by Margie Pavell i'm in the market for a new mixer...i found a denon dnx-120 and dude is asking 180 for it...i found it new for 159.99 with free shipping...i've seen this alot lately that people have a high opinion of their used gear and are asking stupid prices for it...and then get defensive and pissy when you bring it to their attention... whats fair? 60-70 percent of lowest retail? | |

| Nella Libin 29.12.2011 | Good luck to 'em i say, just because you are clued up on the price dont mean that some fool that can be easily parted from his money aint gonna rock up. Dont get mad with the seller and fire off emails with links to cheaper gear, just buy the cheaper gear in the first place and save your blood pressure. If the guy doesnt sell his overpiced gear thats his lookout not yours. And another point, a lot of married guys say to their partner yeah i'll sell that old DJ shit that you found so attractive in me when we met dear, its advertised right now look... Yeah- sure is! Advertised at price knowing full well it will never get a buyer... |

| Marguerite Salsedo 27.12.2011 | Oh Craigslist, you so crazy. |
| Margie Pavell 27.12.2011 | thats awesome... |
| Romelia Stankard 27.12.2011 | meanwhile, on craigslist.... 15 days, sounds like a bargain |
| Rosita Bourdeaux 27.12.2011 | I feel ya, I've been in the market for some technics for a while and lets just say it's been a little slow here in Diego |
| Tillie Sliman 27.12.2011 | Just experienced this from a guy on here, I informed him that a new mixer went for the same price as the used one he had, he told me to buy a new one then... so I did I laugh my ass off when people get emotionally invested in business transactions. |

| Ferdinand Zubieta 26.12.2011 | Just dont try and school them because you'll kill any kind of deal and come off as being arrogant and douchy. Just wait a week till they get desperate and ask if they will take whatever your offer might be. At that point if they let you know how much they paid, let them know how cheap it is elsewhere and all your willing to offer is 'x' amount...if they wont accept move on. |
| Latoria Kavulich 26.12.2011 | half retail if its opened. standard. |
| Antonio Jackle 26.12.2011 | Id say no more the ~75% for great condition used gear , I have a friend trying to sell an X1 with a bag for $250 (Canadian) and a local store will sell the same bundle new for $270. Almost everything used in my area is overpriced and has been for sale for many months before they sell to some sucker... |
| Margie Pavell 26.12.2011 | good example... http://bakersfield.craigslist.org/msg/2760288690.html |

| Romelia Stankard 26.12.2011 | I used to screw with people like that on craigslist, now I just move on. Even if you could get a reasonable price for it do you really want to put up with their nonsense to save like $20? These are the same people who will have you run around to meet them then stand you up or or don't pick up their phone or return emails. I only deal with those people if the deal is insane and I'm saving hundreds of dollars to put up with a little bs. |

| Valentin Doong 26.12.2011 | People get really defensive with their gear
. Whats interesting to remember is that most of these people believe that their gear
is like fucking perfect and they can sell it for retail price. You have to remember that both of you guys are looking for a deal here. He's trying the get the most he can, your trying to get the cheapest. Be negotiable. You gotta prod him to get the best price. |
| Dorie Scelzo 26.12.2011 | What's fair depends on the exact gear. Some vintage stuff is worth more than NOS or re-issue. But a budget mixer that is competent at everything and good at nothing doesn't really count. Chances are he got it as a gift or overpaid to some mom & pop store and has never heard of buying DJ gear on the internet. Just look elsewhere. |
