I don't understand....I asked what you think and then you reply with ''What I think doesn't really matter...." and yet you keep asking for the guidelines. Do you still need guidelines on how to act when you go out somewhere? You should have been taught that when you were young. Look at rule #8 in the 'guidelines' for posting in the classifieds. If you're not sure about what to ask, lay down a price and then add 'OBO'. That isn't good enough for you?? If you do not get any offers, reduce the price but man, it's clear to me when someone reduces the price by 1 cent is merely bumping an add or being defiant....which is basically the same, no?
