Lighthearted kind of but saw an item I had been wanting on Facebook marketplace as part of a USED job lot - the job lot already looked quite overpriced to me but there was only one item in particular I was interested in so didn’t really care.
I contacted the woman and asked if she would sell the particular item separately. She said she would, for £100. I replied asking if it was used (I knew it was but wanted to highlight this to her) and told her they were selling brand new on Amazon for £80.
Her reply shocked me a bit as she said it was used and if I didn’t like it, I should just ‘buy it on Amazon then.’
AIBU or is this bizarre? I know she can sell things for whatever price she likes but it seems very counterintuitive to sell for more than it is new? It isn’t something that appreciates in value at all - imagine something like an air fryer. I feel like nobody will buy it so it’s a huge waste of her time.
