This thread is basically the reason why I do not post the actual sold for price in my listing. I try to price high enough to not only satisfy myself, but also to discourage flippers. I am never selling out of need to sell, at least not yet.
But past experience with a buyer matters when it comes to discounts.
For me
$NOT SOLD is okay, and so is
$OLD.
For clarity here, I do not sell snot.
If nothing sells in a lot, I may offer a discount as a percentage reduction without changing the asking price.
I am not a fan of sequential price reductions to bump a BST listing that is initially listed well above market value.
I do not assume any responsibility for not following any of the rules or preferences above.
