    I offer anyone who buys a game a beer and to chat/play for a bit. I don’t sell enough that this becomes burdensome. I have met some nice people doing this (buying and selling). I don’t particularly enjoy negotiating but if you are prepared with your sale add then it will makes things easier.

    Sometimes, the seller could even make things easier with better pictures and answers to commonly asked questions all ready answered in the add. It isn’t like the usual questions ever change. Also, this hobby is filled with sharks (as well as good peeps) so it is wise to ask questions, no? Any of us ever bought a misrepresented pin? So I ask questions when buying and expect to answer when selling and while I agree that it is a sellers market, I try my best to be friendly and answer. This is a huge outlay of money especially for Newbs and many people need to be comfortable with it. However, I simply don’t respond to continued tire kicking and unreasonable requests.

    Why are you selling is a common question (especially if you sell it quickly after buying it). Just have it answered in your add. Has anybody ever answered with, “I am selling it because I discovered that it is a POS basket case for which I overpaid and want my money back plus money for time invested to discover this”?

    It is easy to sell right now but I like to keep the conversation positive because you never know when the person you are dealing with might have something you are looking for in the future. Small community. Also it is a hobby so I try to keep it fun and not let the idiots ruin it.
