Haggling is a lost art form

I feel like true haggling has been dying out as whole. Unfortunately people nowadays think haggling is lowballing like crazy and then asking what the lowest price is with minimal discussion over why and how the price should be lowered.

When I first began flipping I would normally allow some wiggle room for haggling as people where generally polite and understood how to work down a price without wasting your time with ridiculously low offers. However today, almost every time someone is trying to get a better deal from me they usually send me some ridiculous offer that leaves you baffled as to how someone would even accept that.

To me (and apparently to others) this type of "haggling" has essentially caused waaay stricter pricing and an increase of nasty interactions where people feel entitled to your money.

Idk what caused this or its always been a thing, but to me its been a very noticeable change in how people comport themselves when doing business.

I always admired the way my dad was able to haggle and work down prices at the dealership or flea markets, so its frustrating to see how people think its ok to disrespect sellers simply because they are trying to give you money.

What sells best in my area as a golf reseller

THIS IS NOT A RANKING OF BRAND QUALITY.

I've been re selling golf brands over the last year and these are my observations of how those brands sell individually. This is for second hand models from different time periods.

(Obviously anything brand new or within the last 2-5 years will sell quick for the first three tiers.)

I do a good amount of research to determine the second hand selling price so I'm pretty confident everything is priced about where it should be. (i determine price from ebay+shipping costs, local facebook listings, and local second hand sports retailers)

To me Callaway and Mizuno not selling as fast has been the most shocking.

I just thought this would be cool to share and see what guys think about certain brands not selling as fast.

I have been building on the same creative world for 12 years.

First post on here. I’ve been playing Minecraft on Xbox ever since the 360 days. I was about 11 years old when I first began this world and I rarely ever played on another one. I have started a couple survival worlds but most of my playing time has been on here.

I mainly use Minecraft to just build cool things in creative. There is no cohesive building project in mind for the world, I just build whatever I want and whenever I feel like it. It’s mostly architecture and stadiums haha.

I also have a rule for myself to never destroy any older projects in favor of others as I want to persevere the interests and memories I’ve had at different points in my life.

Buyer asking for video

So I just received an offer for a recent listing and the the buyer is asking me to send a video with the item and a paper with my username and the offer amount he sent. However they are asking to send it to their phone number. I’m not new to eBay buying but I’m new to selling.
