First off I would gladly give you 100 bucks for those nems lol

My definition of a low baller is someone that agrees to buy the item at the posted price so that you can put that it's pending sale and then pm you or even SHOW UP TO YOUR HOUSE!!! And then ask you if that's the best you can do,?! Or even show up with less money than the agreed upon price.........this is why very few people have entered my house lol these people are shameless and will def flip a buck on your back!.

I find it humorous when people sell their 2-3yo evergrow like lights that they paid $300 for back then and think they still are worth $150 when you can buy them new now for $100.

I agree anything in saltwater loses its value pretty quickly. Most equipment I've bought second hand I've regretted not getting new. Doesn't mean there aren't deals to be had, but really like someone said, if you aren't in any pressure to sell and want to get top dollar for your used gear, be prepared to bump for a long time. It's called priced to sell. It's the same with real estate, if the for sale add is 3 months old and 3 pages of bumps and buyer backed out, it's usually a tell tale sign.

And to those that saying this is a troll thread and it should be closed, there's been very good constructive conversation here, so how can it be trolling and why should it get closed? Smh

The cheaper evergrows are about $100. The it2040 are now under $300 new. Prices are dropping on LEDs. The technolgy has been around for a while.

"No low ballers"
just means the seller is not willing to sell for a cheaper price than the asking price and don't want to deal with the BS offers.

It is Buy and Sell not Haggle & Bargain.

There are cheep people who don't understand by offering a cheep price it could come off as insulting to the seller.

So if some one said no low ballers and I do not want to pay their price I move on ;)

People will post OBO but no low ballers. People also put in their adds make an offer, negotiable and so on. If you get offended because some offered you less money then you wanted for lights then you are to sensitive.

The fact this thread is receiving any comments is mind boggling.. Its a stupid thread honestly. And yes you would be considered a low-baller. Just because you offer what you think its worth does not mean that's what it is actually worth which has been said already.. Admins should just close this thread

He is asking a question about pricing. This is a great discussion on how much value something loses. Much more productive then people complaining about flakes without any details or specifics about the situation. Prices are determined by the supply available and the demand for them. This market place is flooded with lights making the supply high. Everyday several lights are put up for sale in the market place. They don't sell that quick because there is no demand for it.

I think paying 200 dollars for used lights is to much when you can buy them new for 260 dollars.gl

Every user on MR is inherently thrifty, that isn't even the major issue ... It's the sheer number of grammatical errors I find daily on this forum.

Lord on the Cross! (he'll forgive me)

I cannot believe that adults write things like "u and ur" , is the #$%&ing word that long that it needs to be shortened?
