To think people ask too much for secondhand items?

[Chukkachick]

About to have our second baby and planning on buying a lot secondhand again, mostly on FB marketplace. But I’m kind of shocked at how much people generally seem to be asking for their items?

e.g ‘great item, used for 15 months, will be properly cleaned’ then asking for between half and 3/4 of the RRP?

I know a lot more people are selling things online due to the cost of living crisis and maybe this is just a reflection of that. But it puts me off even making an offer because I don’t want to look like a CF! Even though I don’t think their item will sell at all with how they have priced it.

specific example- a double pram, now an old model, which would have sold new for about 1200 and the seller wants 900. AIBU to offer no higher than £600?

Some people are ridiculous.

There’s a dress/outfit reselling page on Facebook that I’m still a member of because of the amusement at this.

People are genuinely surprised that no-one wants to be spend £800 on their £1000 dress that still needs dry cleaned and has been altered to fit them specifically. They don’t seem to grasp that people who can afford £800 + postage + dry cleaning for a dress very likely can afford £1000 to go to the designer and have one specifically fitted them them.
