I wonder how many of these sellers end up getting angry that they can't sell their tv,hi-fi,etc and just junk it when they could have sold it for a reasonable price and saved it from the landfill.
Ebays the same way,except they pay for their stupidity because they charge more for a higher insertion fee and then to relist it yet again when it doesn't sell.

Many, I'm sure, get angry and junk the item out of spite. I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "I'll bust it up and throw it out bafore I take that".
Then, there are a few reasonable people, like the guy who runs the local flea market. He's had 3 console stereo's there for around a year. They started out at $75/each. A while back, he wanted me to take them for $35/each. Today, he said he needed the room and I brought them home for $10/each.
