Priced too low?

People may have thought it was a pricing error

And did not want to be labeled as trolls for buying it unfairly :-)

Had a friend who owned an apartment building in which he furnished the refrigerators and was changing them out due to maintenance costs. He listed the old ones as available for no cost to anyone who would pick them up. No one did. Next he advertised them for $50 each and sold them all.

Also remember story of a guy who asked people at an airport for a quarter to make a phone call ( back in the days pay-phones were everywhere at airports) and offered them a dollar for it. No one would do it.

Don't add me to this list:

Someone posted an original stock copy of Waylon Jennings first 45 on Brunswick for $5.00. You can bet I snapped that up.

I guess people believe the saying, if the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is. But sometimes the deal IS good.

I don't understand it, but it definitely happens. Earlier this year I had a 33 Sport King on eBay for around $2500/best offer and did not any offers for weeks. Raised the price to $3300/best offer and someone bought it within a week without even making an offer.

Most likely a fluke.
That same item another time could rot on eBay with the increased price.
