Anybody else find it hard to sell stuff on NT/ISS nowadays?

[allreds]

The past 6 months people hit me up for my listings saying they interested in buying. Everything goes good in the PM's but then when it finally comes down to finalizing the agreement and making payment, you never hear from them ever again. What has this world come to? It's much worse on ISS though, and it's really a big joke now. Nearly impossible to sell ANYTHING anymore. On top of that I actually went through with trying to sell a shirt at the LOWBALLED price and #$%@ still did not want to buy. Sad thing is we can't prevent this @#$% from happening it's like the black plague. Whatever doe, it is what it is right?

Been like this for a little bit.  People only want "deals" and when I say deals, I mean transactions heavily slanted in their favor.
Example:

Me: "Trying selling DS OG Space Jams sz. 11.5 with box and retro card."

Potential Buyer: "I'll give you $175 shipped to Australia, serious offer"

Me:

I hate when my listing has no trades all in caps and people still offer trades.
Every time I list shoes I also state any flaws and what it comes with and people still ask the same questions

 

[taymane23]

If I'm buying something that has been worn/used then I expect a decent price drop.
If I'm selling something I'm offering a nice discount atleast.
As for having selling problems I never do.

I have 100+ pair just sitting in the closet, taking up space.. sz 8 -9 pretty common sizes.. considered getting rid of them eventually, but this just seems like too much of a hassle

 

[kiendienn]

what's the best easiest/fastest way to double box?

 

[jfmartimcdandruff]

Nah, just you...so far my transactions have been goin okay

Maybe you're the one asking for too much

 

[executive76]

Nothing has changed 

 That's just apart of doing business...lowballers, people asking stupid questions & scammers
It's usually the same people any time you're trying to sell something so it's easy to ignore them.

^Actually I ask for less than I intend to sell it for. And why do they bother Pming if they have no interest in buying.... Like Aquaticbarfefoot said, people these days wanna buy DS Concords or Spacejams for $140 shipped. It really makes you wonder

I never bother with selling kicks (good thing).
Whenever I buy a pair, I just make sure that I truly wanted them.

It sucks having to deal with flakes but It's still a better alternative than selling on eBay...Especially how much they rip you off on fees.

Lulz take that resellers, hopefully the world could reset back into order and people can once again get the shoes they want without having to compete with resellers.

Sell them at box price ad I guarantee you they will sell, but no...you bought in hopes of making cash off them, I'm laughing at you

I also find it hard to sell overpriced stuff.

I still have a couple of nice sneakers and t-shirts to get rid of but no one's biting...I don't really need the money but I would like to sell them off eventually even at a loss to someone who wants it...

I actually have more statues and revoltech figures to get rid of if anyone is into those things....

 you're trying too hard as usual.

It's standard for guys to offer you 20-50 bucks less than your asking price even if it's below retail.

.  I haven't been in the market place in a while, people list worn shoes as DS, or beat up shoes as VNDS, and they still overcharge for them

.  Just a headache to deal with, so I decided that if I couldn't get the shoes from a store then I'll keep it moving...

Laughable...There's no $ on forums

you have to have that mother +#%+$% clientele if you expect to get your product off

I've been considering when to sell my collection. I'm just trying to find a way to get my money back and maybe make a slight profit on my kicks. I mean I was holding on to some of these kicks DS for 9 years so I'd hope to get some profit from that and not resell for retail.
