   I think the classifieds on here don't work as well as they should because there is no "system".

   On AV Forums all offers and negotiations have to be kept on the thread and the first unconditional offer of the asking price is held to be the winner. Sellers must state clear prices which are assumed to inc postage unless otherwise explained.

   You can look at the thread and see who's offered what and when and see what's sold and what hasn't. On here you have no idea coz there's a combo of posts and private e-mails flying about.

   It works very well over there so maybe something like that should be used here?

   thanks

   i've not yet sold the items, but will be doing soon.

   email 1's offer would be acceptable, but about as low as i would want.

   would it be fair then to reply immediately to that offer, indicating that i may accept if a better offer doesn't come in in x amount of time? think that would be my tactic.

   With regard to postage I usually give a posted price and then send by the most economical method
   Just sold a small item for 15 quid, standard parcels is £4.41 and 1st class is £5.90, can't see anything wrong with using the cheaper albeit slower method.

   Probably going to get a few people disagree with this next view, but if I had to decide who to sell to it would definitely sway me if one responder was abrupt and impolite with the other friendly with please and thank you

   Manners matter in everyday life and that carries over to online with me too
