Stay Flexible
Make sure you have enough time on your hands to actually make the transaction, especially if you’ve found a local buyer. People don’t generally want to wait too long for their new, shiny things- thanks, same-day delivery!
As soon as someone is interested in purchasing, let them know where you’d like to meet and keep in mind that they might think you’re asking them to come too far for a bargain. That being said, don’t allow yourself to be swindled about choosing beggers that want you to lower your prices due to distance.
Expect Haggling
Haggling comes with the territory. In fact, you’d be hardpressed to find prospective buyers that won’t haggle with you.
If your price is firm, specify this upfront but keep in mind that some buyers might be turned off by this. The term OBO, ‘or best offer’ is widely used on the Internet. If you want to generate even more interest, use the term ‘negotiable’.
