Hi Gang, well, this sure blew up! I have been busy the last couple of days and not surfing here as much, but things are good. I hope you're all enjoying the season!
So, early on when I joined this forum I was specifically asked to delete my selling prices by more than a few (different) buyers... so, I naturally presumed that was SOP here, and / or that my items were being resold, which, and I'm sure many of you will agree, is fine if I (you) get your asking price - we always run the risk of undervaluing our items here (because of our practice of mandatory pricing) and sometimes that becomes evident based on how quickly items sell. I made many of those errors early on here with some goodies, but that's moot and not the point here.
So, I've gotten in the habit of deleting the prices - and also of editing the original ad when the item sells so's not to bump a "sold" listing to the top - I feel that's a good thing for all involved myself.
Now, back to this R12.
The first listing was for 8 cans with a total of 102oz for $160 shipped - those sold to Joe in 6 minutes from my post going live. Including shipping, that's $1.56 per ounce. Making a 12oz can worth $18.72 shipped and a 14oz can $21.84 SHIPPED, and we all know shipping isn't cheap - even though these have to go Ground.
I listed the case of 12 12oz cans which is 144oz for $250 shipped which is $1.73 per ounce to make up for the extraordinary shipping costs and why I said "similarly priced" to allude that it was a deal since that first stash sold quickly. Making each 12oz can worth $20.76, again shipped. These sold to Phil in 47 minutes from the time the ad went live.
Based on the above, and how much it can (seem to) go for at swaps, I've clearly under valued R12 - part of that is that I'm not here at a swap meet selling to "strangers" but here in the sYc Community and wanting to pass along deals that I sometimes stumble upon and share my good fortune with my Yenko.net friends.
Moving forward I will leave prices up when I items sell - I agree that when others do it helps me too.
And, since I don't really have the bandwidth to revisit all of my past listings here on sYc, if ANYONE wants to know what I sold something for - just comment in the original post bringing it to the top and I'll let you all know what the selling price was; I can likely figure it out from my emails & records.
Cheers all and please be safe, well, and merry this season!
Anthony
PS - John, bring them back, there is certainly a need here it seems! And thank you as always for your service - let me know if you're coming back to CA and we'll meet up again when it's safe.
And thank you to all of our sYc friends who serve! Cheers!!
