    Want to donkey punch Craigslist lowballers!!!

    So I have a set of hex dumbbells for sale on Craigslist from 5 lbs up to 65 lbs in 5 lb increments. That's 860 lbs(don't have 25 lbers) and I have $500 OBO... I know that's a little high but expect to let it go for $400 which is less than .50 a lb... I've had 3 dumbasses offer me $200 and one offer me $225... I mean really???? I try to be nice but it flies all over me!!! I'm all about getting a good deal but c'mon man!! End rant.....

    Most buyers on Craigslist will be more interested in the deal than the goods that you are selling. If you go through the Craiglist thread, you rarely see people post that they paid a fair price for something.

    Some of the lowballers might be looking to flip the stuff later.

    Par for the course my man. A lot of craigslist shopers are hoping to take advantage of people who are destitute.

    A fair or good deal just isn't good enough.

    It doesn't get rid of all of them, but you can put in your ad "no low ballers". That may help a little.

    This is sooooo true. I still regret one item that I let get away just because I couldn't get it for a steal of a price even though I could have gotten it for a very fair price.

    Someone on Craigslist is selling what looks like a really nice custom leg press for $650. He says that if he doesn't get that, he's going to keep it, because it's a really nice leg press. Maybe that will work. I'm kind of thinking about it. I might offer $650. It seems a fair price.

    Huh. I just checked, and he reposted and removed the "I'll just keep it" part. Guess he didn't actually want to keep it, and was just trying to prevent lowballing. Guess it worked, and a little too well.

    Anyway, maybe "or I'll keep it" will help keep lowballers away, though many may just figure it's just an opening salvo in the negotiations to come, and lowball you anyway.

    Odd. Because I put up a set of the u-90 powerblocks for $300 firm and they WENT. No haggling whatsoever. Mind you it was on Kijiji.ca but it's basically the same thing.

    Just put $425 firm and maybe you will get someone to offer you $400 or maybe someone will buy them for $425.

    It surprises me how many people refuse to buy equipment from Elitefts because its too expensive but they will buy equipment from their competitors, then continue to go on EFS website to educate themselves for FREE

    Not to be contrary, but I have seen several 5-50 lb. sets go for $200.

    I got my own 10-60 (770 lbs.) and a solid two level rack for $300, American iron.

    I guess it depends on your location, the condition they are in, and how quickly you want to sell.
    Dumbbells can sometimes be harder to sell at a premium because you are probably selling the entire set all together.
    I was able to sell some extra dumbbells I had at 60-70 cents per pound because I sold them as pairs and let buyers cherry pick what they wanted.

    Why not just be truthful in your ad? You listed $500 OBO but neither of those is what you want. You want $400.

    In my experience, Powerblocks and Ironmasters are far easier to get rid of due to the amount of space required for a complete set of DBs.

    You could list a 25lb solid gold brick for $1, and you'd have some jackass come along and offer you $.35

    That's just the way CL is.

    That's what I'm saying!!! If something is 200$ I might offer 100$ or 125$ just so I can get it at $150... $850 to $350 I prob wouldn't even respond!!

I try to be nice but it flies all over me!!! I'm all about getting a good deal but c'mon man!! End rant.....
    $200 is 50% of the $400 that you estimate as the market price.

    The going rate on hex Dbs is 50 to 60 cents a pound. Are you listing the per pound price in your ad?
    You need a good rack, a bench, and a 300-lb Olympic weight set. Now, what was your question?

    Beat me to it.

    You apparently have no problem lowballing sellers, but expect buyers to make full price offers? Offer me 50% of my asking price and you won't even get a response.

    We had a garage sale and someone wanted to haggle on the price of a sweater. It was new (unwanted gift) and the asking price was a quarter. Someone wanted to haggle over a quarter. LOL

    Reread my post... The 50% offer is to get to my final offer... I have no problem people offering half of what I'm
    Asking but as the final price I do... And 200 or 250 when I'm asking 500 is not ballpark... $100 when they are asking 200 is ballpark

    I sure did!! I thought most people knew .50 per pound was a fair deal that's how much I've always paid... And I'm even willing to fudge a little more but def not selling for .20 or .30 per pound... I guess if I was in a jam I might but I have the
    Luxury of not having to sell these

    If you're not in a hurry to sell just sit on them, most good deals on Craigslist are from people needing to unload crap quickly
