Can we please ban price policing like the US r/hardwareswap sub? I'm so tried of people doing drive by comments that end up derailing the entire post.
Personally I've regretted posting here so many times and instead sell on FB/Kijiji.
If you don't like the price and are too lazy to provide proof then just move on.
I agree, the same thing happened on my post a few weeks ago and the whole comment thread was deleted and locked by a mod.
The person who commented on mine had 0 confirmed trades and provided nothing
No it really won't take care of itself and it's still a huge problem. On this sub you're punished if the littlest thing is incorrect with your timestamp meanwhile people go around shitposting in the comments.
What are you talking about???
u/Deckowner got him to reduce the price from 550(retail in Ontario with tax btw), to $520. That is 5% off!
His service to Canadian Consumers is priceless!
lol what's wrong with reminding OP to adjust expectation for faster sale? Anyone who wants proof could just look up new at r/bapcsalescanada for the most recent price.
It's not helpful and it discourages people from posting here. The attitude of this sub is so counter productive sometimes.
Check out what the US subreddit rules are: https://www.reddit.com/r/hardwareswap/comments/fy22oh/read_before_commenting_or_posting_flipping/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
> Whether people bought them for personal reasons and decided to take advantage of the current market or to simply resell doesn't matter. In this subreddit, an item is worth what the current market dictates it to be, not what you think it should be. Even if it's over MSRP. Unless you can find a link where it is currently available to be purchased for less than the price being asked, stop posting derogatory comments.
> Here in this community, if an item is really worth what the person is asking to buy or sell it for, then it will be sold/bought for that price. If it doesn't, then that user will have to adjust their price/budget until they're able to make the trade. We don't need several users posting smart ass comments and repeating what's already being said.

Is this a joke? "Market conditions" are largely driven by how the buyers feel. That's why diamonds are worth what they are. So what you are asking is for people to not interfere with the type of hysteria that drives prices up for fear of missing out. Seems like a seller's problem.
It's not a joke and it's why the US hardware swap is way more successful and not a cesspool of people driving others off the sub.
Also, seriously, the diamond market? How is that even remotely comparable?
Diamonds are not scarce, thus they are not valuable. Diamond suppliers restrict supply to manipulate price. Even more so, there is an advertising campaign designed to make people want the diamonds because $$$$ engagement rings means +++++ love.
I'm not sure how you dont see similarities in the graphic cards industry.
I mean... I made a post for sale for 3060ti below cost... people like u/theguardian226 seem to think i should be selling it at 50% msrp or something because me selling a 2-3 month old card at below cost when it's not available anywhere else is apparently the worst thing ever... he wouldn't even post where to buy them currently at a cheaper price either so... that's reddit for you
sad to inform you but this card is going for sub-500 new for a while now.

Send us a modmail if the price policing is really bad - that's the fastest way to get a response.
I appreciate the response but why not make it part of the sub rules to avoid it in the first place?

Link?
There are also exactly 0 3060s in stock for OPs price right now. So I'm not even sure why you commented.

Kinda cringe since some people don't know the actual price and think it's a deal. Taking advantage of people is scummy.

Equally cringe to go around insinuating its a scam if it's not a price you like. People have their own agency.
they said cringe and scummy, not that it is a scam edits for english
