    I was already deeply discounting. I also give hardware away to friends and family (my old Synology NAS just got a new home with a friend). But for strangers to underbid so hard is fucking insulting. I am generous. I am not someone of which to take advantage.

      How in the world would anyone know that!? I’m in IT, use Linux, etc, and still have absolutely no idea what that Synology NAS is worth. Uninformed people are probably even worse, especially for older electronics.

      Choosing to be insulted because someone didn’t bid what you think they should have when there’s such a huge variance is wild to me…

        Offering $20 on an item priced at $400 (for example) is not someone not knowing the approximate price. It’s someone looking to get a steal.

      But if noone is buying it for a price higher than the low ball offers, maybe those aren’t low ball offers?

        If I’m selling a thousand dollar PC (that’s a year old) and someone offers me $50, that’s a shit offer. Like the image that headed this post.
