It was really nice of you to considering paying for something untested. You have a heart of gold sir!

Ebay also charges you a percentage on the shipping amount. Most people do not realize that. You can actually loose money if it's a heavy weight and low price like $5.00 or less.

@@girlnextdoor0703 I used to sell quite a bit on Ebay. Had a lot of glass items and mechanical parts that I'd take a chance on by listing at low starting bids. Quite a few times items would surprise me with how high they would go. (Best was $1500.00 on a $2.00 starting bid) Some would go for opening bids. When they started chrging percentage, I quit taking the risk as some I ended up paying more in fees than what I got. I contacted Ebay and asked why and they said a few people charging like $125.00 dhipping with a buy it now of $1.00 for a $150.00 item to avoid fees. I told her fine, If you see those people, kick them off and leave us alone. She said they couldn't which I replied that you're TOO lazy and this is all about finding another revunue increase for your company. I told her you are actually going to loose revenue as I will no longer list heavy items that could go for low prices. She then told me to just raise the starting bid to cover the fees on the shipping. I did that one time and explained in the listing saying just that. They pulled all my auctions and said I could say that in the listings. LOL

It is called the endowment effect. People value things closely associated with them more, and it is hard for them to see reality for what it is. Same thing with people's children. Everyone values their children more than other do. Same thing with property, cars, beliefs, etc. Same with with religion, nationality, etc. It even happens with hometown pro sports teams. There are often players who are menaces to society, but the people in the city they are playing in mostly see the bright side and overlook the bad actions. It is a psychological issue that will never change. Somewhat similar is the following example. If you are reading an article, say about politics, there will be comments below the article. If you don't post, and somebody says exactly what you are thinking, and another person calls them a name, you won't react anywhere near as negative as you would if you had posted the exact same thing on this anonymous message board. Just like when somebody cuts somebody else off in traffic....you may say, that person is a bad person for cutting them off, but if they cut you off, then it is personal, and they are a lowlife horrible person.

$225 offer on the Tesla center counsel was way too high. I would offer $100 since it will cost more to list it, pack it, store it, etc. If it was a small item like a knife then the 50% off Ebay sold comp is good. But for a large item I would be way lower. Nobody is going to give him that kind of money for a used Tesla center counsel locally since they can get it for $200 at a junk yard.
