One of things he always states is he knows he probably priced something too cheaply when an "OBO" is sent almost immediately after he posted an item.

That usually alerts him that something may be worth more than he posted it for,

And I've noticed the same thing over the years as a COMC seller (even long before I worked there)

If you get an offer the second you posted something, you just might want to see what the "Comps" are.

I've always wondered if something is too cheap, why not just buy it instead of negotiating downwards

Some people have a pathological desire to "win" every interaction.

You could post a vintage $500 bill for sale and some knucklehead would send a $400 offer.
