I have found myself biting my tongue more than once based on how proud some people are of their used gear. I guess I can't begrudge someone for seeing what that can get. I have made the mistake of posting something on Craigslist too low. You know you screwed up when you get a phone call per minute until you take it down.

Kinda hard to do when people are selling stuff for 4X-5X the normal value

No its really not, you just move right along. These are not normal times and im afraid this is just the start.

the 3x-5x is the penalty you pay for not being prepared.
I understand that but Its just compounding the problem don't you think?

I mean it doesn't sound like they are very smart if that is truly that much over market... They'll just never sell it I guess.
The crazy prices are being paid elsewhere. Im guilty, I recently acquired a 45-70 and I paid 3x the normal price for ammo. It was that or simply own a boat anchor.

Yep, timely posting.
We live in a free market gentlemen. We may not always agree with asking prices, but show your disdain by quietly moving on. Bite your tongues.
Anyone could crap on any of our listings/prices for any personal reason if this becomes tolerated.

I just laugh, shake my head and move on.

Yes ☝🏻. Life’s too short. *Try* not to stay offended, b/c it’s understandable to get offended in some situations, but staying offended is kinda on you bro. Move on, it ain’t worth the high blood pressure.

devils advocate :), if people can go into a thread and say "good price, someone pick this up" don't they have equal freedom to go into a thread and say "bad price, look elsewhere"

i don't really care one way or the other, just looking from the other side. hate seeing way overpriced stuff on the classifieds, but usually just assume they will realize they asking too much when its 2 pages of "bump" posts. I think compared to other sites, usually roksliders prices are as good as it gets, usually priced to move.

Mine was my wife's Ford Escort. I thought it was such a piece of crap that I would be ripping someone off asking $1000 for it. It sold within minutes and I had to take it down so my phone would stop ringing.
