Title: Am I asking to much
Post by: Pat Pixley on September 16, 2007, 08:11:25 pm
  Ok I've had my  7Up slider on ebay  4 time so far and the most action was  up to $350
 then that spammer I started out at $850 and I dropped my price down to $750
and this time no bids at all.

So  am I asking to much, Or  here is one more thought do think the market is soft.
Any thought ??

From my experience 7up is kinda hard to sell.

I do think the market is soft right now also - has been for close to a year to me.

I'd say Market is soft generally in pretty much anything... business, realestate, people buying toys...etc...

I'd say as nice is yours is, 750 is a good deal,,, just have to find the right buyer... it'll come, unless you need to sell it fast then probably feel pressured into moving it quickly and at a lower price.

hang in there... it's  beautiful machine...

I think the market is just soft right now. If I were in the states I would buy it. that looks like a nice machine and it is at a good price. hey Pat did you get my package a few weeks ago?

I bought a unrestored one with no rack for $200 years ago. Soft market= means time to buy.

Right now (atleast in Fl) People are trying to keep their homes because their interest rate on their ARM with no money down has gone through the roof. I am picking up peoples toys left and right on craigslist for almost nothing. A week ago I saw a nice APC 9mm for 125.00, Remington shot guns for $250-300,  05-08 jet skis for $4500 , very nice 2005, 2006 boats under 12k with engines that have not even been broken in yet!. People are getting rid of their toys to make their payments so that may be why you’re having trouble selling your slider.

What exactly is going on over in the US... We hear that there are problems with the housing market and it has had a massve knock on effect here in The UK. One of our oldest and largest banks has just gone to the wall. There have been people queuing around the block to get their money out and the Bank of England has had to come in and shore up....

. I'm in no real big yank to sell it , But it does have to make you wonder if you are asking to much or not.
Josh  Yes I did get that package And THANKS  :biggrin:  Just wondering if you got the email that I sent you ? 

 Dave, I know how you feel  :oh: I'll work with you  on it and you know that
 I would let you have it for my reserve. :smile:  And that goes for any of you at the site.

  Dave what is going on, Is some people have got over extended on what they owe
  and it is catching up with them.

Pat,
I also think that the market is soft, especially here in Michigan.  Lately, when I drive around on service calls I see more  and more items for sale on the side of the road.  Some of the things are not to old and going for a cheap price.

If I had a little extra cash around, I would buy your machine.
