I moderate a Classifieds/Feedback section of a 70k+ member website. I see a lot of FS ads and WTB ads....
There are people out there that are completely out of touch and admit they don't know what to charge, and they will usually come into line with market asking price when educated. Then there are those who think their *10 year old daughter rule* don't stink, and think they're King Midas or something and ask incredulous prices. Its hard to tell between the two unless the latter is blatently arrogant, without getting in touch.
Personally I don't bother unless it is a MUST HAVE item, there are usually enough people out there willing to wheel and deal to waste time on the few who won't.
We have one guy out there that was parting out his stock parts off of a Camaro SS. He asked 75-80% of dealer retail for the parts, even though they were used, b/c he is ignorant and lazy and proud. He was banned a few times for it, but kept it up for two years until he was flamed and slammed so hard for it, he almost disappeared. Stupid people are everywhere.
