Exactly they check ebay all the time and go to yard sales to find "deals" aka "let's try and find stuff that people don't know what they have and rip them off" I check pricing every time I'm selling something so I know if im selling to a reseller or someone who's an actual collector. Resellers I'll try to rip off all day cause resellers and scalpers r the worst... Ill help a collector out all day but never a reseller or a scalper.

"I'll need to check on eBay" isn't usually a good sign *but* she then asked less than half the low end price. It would be nice if more people took such a realistic approach.

EBay offers access to a much wider potential customer base at the cost of extra work and fees. If you want those prices then sell on eBay.

@johnmohl4726

You have a point, but yard sellers fail to realize that eBay can get the prices they get because the item can be seen by millions of people potentially over the course of several months. They aren't as likely to get that *one* buyer who'd happen to be one of the 40 people who show up to the day-long yard sale. The reseller doesn't have to purchase it at the higher yard sale price, and it is the yard seller who is more likely to end up at the end of the day with the item taking up space and no money for it.

I'm an Australian who also always use the term "I'll take it" when I am buying something. I in fact think it's a very cool, precise saying.
