Should Overpriced Gear Be Called Out?

I’ve seen some used ham gear being damn near asking new price. Why can’t we call these people out on outrageous prices? Some newbies will pay and it’s ridiculous.

 

No. We don't need the price police. And who's to decide what a price should "really" be?
If someone doesn't bother to do their homework and get a "price check" it's no one's fault but their own.
Most usually the item just won't sell at inflated prices.

I often think high price complaints are from those who see stuff they want but just don't want to pay much for it.

 

BUYERS determine what stuff sells for.

Been that way since the beginning of time.

Sellers can ask a BAZILLION ZILLION QUATLOOS for an item - but only if a BUYER is willing to pay will it sell.

That's just how it works.

No. If folks can't check pricing themselves, they deserve what they get.

 

Who gets to decide which prices are fair and which are outrageous? You?

No. Mind your own business.

 

If the list price is $200 USD and you buy it for $100 USD it makes you feal good.

Sales at the malls have been working that way forever.

The market will sort it out....

If I'm not buying it, it's none of my business.

 

This is not the problem here, but on eBay.

 

I don't buy it.
