The seller explains his actions in the description with this crazy logic. What I find amusing is that the folks he's complaining about giving him advice on its value are those (like you and me
) who really
do appreciate vintage sets.
"ok here we go...
This story now is about how much is something worth? This TV to a antique dealer is worth one amount, and to me its worth another.
I have had so many complaints about my price that i decided to raise it. Just to show that this TV or anything else for that matter is worth whatever someone is willing to pay, not what the coplainers tell me its worth.
I started the item at 1500.00 thinking if it would not sell i could lower it as the weeks went on. Oh but no no no people started in on me immediately with their comments.
It has long been the American Dream to buy something at one price and sell it for a profit of some kind.
The people who complain to me about my price want to lower the American economy by cheapining the sale price of all items in America. I beleive this lets sell it cheaper attitude is what is destroying the American economy and the American workforce. If i can not profit i can not afford workers. So i will hold out until i see fit to lower my price which will be my decision and not yours you naysayers of economy growth. Now do i expect a buyer??? Maybe not at this price. But i am taking offers so we will see what happens.
Please sellers stop giving in to the i must sell it cheaper than anyone else idea. You are only short changing yourself. You are also short changing the American economy.
Ultimately its the buyers choice if they want it or not. Its my choice to set the price based on current market trends or overhead.
Maybe next month the overhead will be lower. Maybe higher i dont know. But if i sell it for the $5.00 i was offered it wouldnt even be worth my time. I have also been told its only worth about $35.00 or so. However i can not find this TV anywhere else in America because it is one of a kind in the fact that I chased a truck down and obtained the tv from someone who was going to throw it away. I was hoping to list it as antique and make a few dollars on it and then i had people making statements with no questions about my item. I guess it just made me mad about how little value people put on things.
Sold the tv once already but buyer didnt pick it up."
