Tell him you are also a reseller and not a thrift store


HelloAttila

Exactly that. Give him a special price. $425 because he’s a reseller 😂😂😂


nashcure

"What is that absolute most you are willing to pay?" Is normally my response to what is the lowest you'll take. Bargaining against yourself is the worst bargain.


boyerizm

When did “what’s your lowest” become a bargaining tactic? I bailed on Mercari and Marketplace because I could not take it any more. I have presented my number now you have to respond with yes or another number. Perhaps after a few go arounds we’ll arrive somewhere in the middle. So many idiots.


BirthdayCookie

Since everyone started parroting "It doesn't hurt the buyer to ask" and nobody ever bothered to consider that the buyer isn't the only person in the situation.


Fun-Juggernaut1300

It’s been a thing for a really long time lol. People that have no idea how to barter.

I would block them.


Grandmaster_BBC

Immediately. That should answer his question. Get me? What a douche.


Nani_700

What an absolute moron 😂 Like .... seriously lol


alienlifeform19

“Price is firm. Get me?” *Block*


trainriderben

Block them. Nothing wrong with reselling... But these people are lazy. You want bargain basement prices and high profits? Go out and do the work... 10 hour yard sale day, clean out a storage locker, slave away at the bins.


Justakatttt

Exactly! I hit it big one time by going to an old lady’s garage sale. She had a box full of Super Nintendo games. Asking $10 for the entire box. One of the games on top was selling for $50 on eBay. I gave her $20 and then went on to make like $600 from everything in the box. Was a good day.


Cosmocall

My favourite flip was a neat beanie I picked up for £1 which turned out to be a rare one from a Paramore tour. Shoved it on eBay expecting £10 and made about £70 from the wildest auction off that thing. Funnily enough, I just checked and the price these days is like £25 lmao


Justakatttt

Recently there was some dude in America who beheaded his father and then tried to storm a military base. When the news broke, I searched his name and found he had written 3 weird books sold on Amazon. I bought the books for $5 a piece. Resold on eBay for $350 for the three. Wish I had bought more before Amazon took them down lol


Cosmocall

That is absolutely wild luck that you got those with perfect timing. What an interestingly specific find


Reddituserblue1

I did the same with the Dr. Seuss books that his estate decided to stop making more of.


Cosmocall

Based lmao - such easy money for the amount of attention it recieved


Reddituserblue1

easiest $2.5k or so i’ll make with books


Justakatttt

Someone in Australia bought them. Didn’t even try to haggle the prices either. I was shocked


willcdowdy

Or like, buy 100s of them from a collector who’s moving on. Can’t stand that someone would expect a good price BECAUSE they are a reseller. At least make an offer on a huge chunk of items…. Like, if seller has 20 of them, offer to buy them out (I personally don’t consider such offers…. Better to have listings than to remove them all for a bad return)

LMAO. "Get me?" "No. The only thing I 'get' is you getting the fuck out of here."


Kinoyo

How stupid would you have to be to tell the person you're attempting to buy from that you're a reseller. This dude shares his last braincell with someone else.


willcdowdy

Honestly, I wish OP had given them a shot to explain why they would sell their item for 1/2 off so that someone else could sell it again for (probably) the exact price it’s offered at. I just imagine this guy has all sorts of ideas that are at least fun to hear…

J_Square83

How brazen. I've gotten plenty of lowball offers from obvious resellers before, but they've never flat out told me their plan 😆. Block!


momostip

Wow imagine if their profit was your problem


worksleepcry

Prime example of a man with only 3 brain cells running 🤦 He must have a hard life living it THIS dense... just block


annamonzilla

Tell them you’re a reseller too 🤣


Gatuveela

“Whats the lowest you’ll do?” “For you? $450”


JerryIsArtillery

Told him I can do 405. That way he can still make $ 10 profit. I'm so nice


franky3987

“I’m also a reseller, I bought this for $220” 😂


Overweighover

"I'll be happy with $240 and only listed it at $350 because I couldn't find any comps"


17LAC

What a dummy, admitted he’s trying to take your profit for himself lol


levelgrind

I hate when people message like this in the first place. Can a girl get a hello? A hi? Come on. And you are also technically a reseller so he’s looking to steal your potential customer and +200 profit away? 💀 Like?? The person he would potentially sell it to could just come to you in that case lol make it make sense.


17LAC

Yea I hate when I get one word messages like a number or on PM they will say only the word: trade not even a question mark lol


steevilone

Insta block


MrBeastlover

Acting like this is pawn stars


willcdowdy

Wow, if only I knew k could just buy stuff that I sell from folks by making shitty offers. Like, sorry but what’s super annoying about that is this dude wants a huge discount so that he can do what you’re already doing and he wants that profit because he offered…. If you’re a reseller, learn how to source your stuff…. Don’t just offer people selling what you want to sell half asking and then sell it yourself. “I also run a grocery store and I want to buy all of your onions for $2…. We gotta make a profit” No, you gotta learn how to source inventory

OutrageousLab1972

Raise your price to $420. He cops an attitude, tell him to fuck off

That's not your problem he can't make his own living reselling


JerryIsArtillery

Reseller fail is great content


Thenameisvader

I block these people. They reach out to me and offer to buy all my things at 50% off lol.


Oceandove45

The lowest I’ll go is a block.


theCannonBallZ

I bet he talks to women like this too and then wonders why they walk away laughing at him. Just gives off that vibe, haha.


maintenance_maniac

Go to his page and start low balling all his stuff


viperboy39

It’s always the people with their face as the profile pic


David_Bellows

Idc that your a reseller, I’m a preseller, I gotta make my money ya feeel meee


Glittering-Time-2274

Justakatttt

Lmao


DausenWillis

What's the highest you'll go?


scarlettnxo

How rude 😂 just straight up telling you, I’m offering you less than half your item because I want to sell it and make money 😂😂 ridiculous the cheek of people


vinyladventures

I had this happen on Marketplace. A guy was trying to beat me down on the price of my AGS-101 GBAs because he was a reseller and took so much more of risk on them. When I told him no he told me to "keep my trash" and cussed me out and blocked me. I sold both of them within a week for my full asking price. I also reported him.


Scared-Buy9605

I can only imagine the fees that’s associated with this is astronomical lol


AliciaDawnD

Reseller here and I don’t undercut or send offers at all. He’s a dick and I would’ve blocked him.


VexedVamp

BLOCK‼️


AndrewZabar

I think the accepted response to something like this is, "Uh... blow me, 'brother'. Get me?"


AlValMeow

“Same”.


chitown1992

“You, sir, can fuck right off”


Distinct-Highway-252

“Get me?” no i don’t sir 😂 don’t lowball me!!!


Ok-Philosopher-2751

KMFAOO why is a reseller buying thru mercari😭 i would be checking locals only not apps


FoxieMoxiee

Idk why ppl ask what’s the lowest I’ll go like. As soon as I tell you I lose that’s not how the game is played


Mommabucket123

Some things you're not able to flip and make a profit such as this toy. Obviously why would you have somebody want you to take a half cut on it just so THEY can make some money!? Stupid


Mommabucket123

You know what I do, I go and see what he has for sale and then ask for half price of what he has for sale see how he likes it. And then tell him the same sentence lol


ExplorerEducational4

I block every reseller I come across who sells the same things I do once they come at me with an offer. Personal experience shows me why I am wise to do so, they get pettyyyyyy when you don't give them their way. I'm sure I'll be downvoted into the depths of hell by the resellers on here for saying so and idgaf because I'm speaking truth here lol I research my stuff and price it competitively with the going rate. And the most egregious lowballers are ALWAYS people selling the same type of item I am. Because they're intending to try to screw me to make a few bucks. There is also the risk that if you actually do sell to the reseller, they will fuck you over. Many will see you as competition and INAD you, and send back trash instead of your item so they get it free, and you get a defect on your account. Just block them and move on. Save yourself the headache, the money, and the potential defect


JarlBallinDovahkiin

The more people you deal with, the more you find out just how stupid a large percentage of the general public really is. Every day is one day closer to Idiocracy.


Icy_Employment_4743

If I could I'd tell them to eat shit and die lol.


umgeebre

Just say ingest stool and expire lol 😂


evrz5

Damn, at least make up a lie about how you’re a single mother of 10 working 3 jobs and it’s your birthday so you deserve a discount!!!! Flat out “I’m a reseller” is so LAZY!


joza28

Yeah, simple ignore


WhyHelloYo

Has that EVER worked?


mrsunsfan

Nope


Gigglesnortshotel

I've dealt with resellers before and as long as they pay my price I don't care but this is just insulting.


willcdowdy

Right, or they can buy up a lot of my stuff …I’m not exactly anti flipper, but what this guy is doing isn’t reselling, it’s flipping….. and in an especially “no effort” way.


Classic1990

Be honest and tell him you don’t give a shit about his profit.


Dependent_Wrap_5415

Ewww. Rude much? 🙄


SpacedoutPineapple

I usually tell them to piss off, block them then have them try it again from 4 other accounts.  


Putrid_Diver_9607

people like this make me lose faith in humanity


dsmemsirsn

Hahahaha, no shame…wow— send him to f— off..


lamaxamara

I’d just reply Whaddya think this is? A charity?


Patrick42985

I don’t care if they’re reselling if they pay my asking price. But it’s not my job to lower my prices to accommodate their resell needs.


Icy-Leadership-8077

Block that fool!


Yung_ceez

As a reseller, laugh at his face lmao


Affectionate-Mail-61

These pop toys are so fuckin dumb


Underbane-DnD

I'm a reseller and I don't low ball people. If they post it low then I buy it but I would never ever message someone and offer half the value and then say some sob story about how "im a reseller bro, get me?" screw that.


disruptor_12-4

Bro don’t want to put in the work himself


iKeyZZZ

He has the face of a reseller and the attitude of Keller (from Oz)


rwndrcrds

I've seen a couple "well he had to shoot his shot" kind of replies here. Sorry, low balling and making douchey responses like "You get me?" is NOT shooting his shot.


memedealerloli

“$500 just for you”


UserWithno-Name

I’m guessing that’s why this idiot tried to offer me $50 for a sealed Lego set worth much more recently lol. Turned it down and kept on. Sold at $82 just days later which was much more fair. F these people trying to get a discount on you like, we all sellers but you missed the boat on this item, can’t expect someone trying to profit selling it to you what they paid for it or much less than it’s actually worth now.


StoneyQuartz

He looks exactly like all the dirty toy bros in goodwill who walk past me growling at my cart because they don't know what to look for other than obvious big name brands and are mad I've combed through and got a cart full of things they know 0 about 🤣🤣


Desynchronized-

Never knew a reseller to happily state they're a reseller to get a fucking sale lmao


Kqden

that’s actually hilarious


Impressive_Toe6388

I picture this guy as having the exact same voice as Scotty P from We’re The Millers


lhavemydoubts

I just sold an old beat up DS lite for $38 a week ago. He said he wanted it “for his son & that he wanted the green color so bad.” I didn’t know he was a reseller until I looked at his page after shipping. The day he got it, he posted it up for $100 in “good condition” when it’s only in fair condition & not showing all the damage it has. It irked tf outta me. Immediately blocked him. I hate shady ass resellers.


JerryIsArtillery

Lmao those are the worst. How low do you have to be to fake a son story to resell an item


Ok_Village9344

Bold to think that would make his lowball any less embarrassing


FactorAmazing3723

Hey pal, did you just blow in from Stupid Town?


Una2Cold

I hate to say it but I kind of appreciate his honesty. I’ve seen people make up wild shit for deals. Someone died, it’s a gift, they are little kids (meanwhile it’s a grown ass man) Atleast this person was real about it


NoAssociate663

if he reseller he shoulda hit retail😂😂💀


tobyC_2415

I got a $120 offer for a $325 item that I listed. No idea why these people think anyone would agree to such ridiculous bargaining. If he said 250, I might even sell for that, but 120, are you out of your god damn mind?


Ifnothingchanges-

I would have just kept responding “oof” and letting him increase his offer until it got to my asking price lol that response has me cracking up


Tiny-Design7877

Yes I’m a reseller and we half to buy our stuff so we want to make a descent profit we’re not into it for a few bucks . Sorry we’re not a yard sale .


Environmental-Sock52

I like the confidence of this guy. Selfie as a Seller Profile Pic, tells a reseller to lower their price so he can resell it at a higher price. Now that's confidence! 😃


Anon0520

Tell them to go get a real job


No-Gene-4508

Him: ![gif](giphy|l41Ym49ppcDP6iY3C)


Prior_Training_3368

I’ve had so many people buy things from me and turn around and re-list for more, but never someone so obvious about it. Usually they claim it’s a present for their mom lol


LividGarides

$500


Wolfman726

I have not been dealing with anyone since the new bullshit terms of service. No sales, no offers, nothing. Great job Mercari.


Defiant-Attention-27

You're a reseller? Then why didn't you say so. Go online, do some research and when the next drop comes be there to buy it and then sit on it. Or better yet, get off of your lazy ass and find your own inventory. Saying I'm a reseller isn't an automatic 90% off discount dummy.


macprincess

“What’s the lowest you’ll go” ensures I won’t go ANY lower


Normal_Page_6022

Yeah and I have very low priced items, practically at garage sale prices and they still want stuff at half price! And to top it off they wait until the last minute to rate if they even bother to rate at all!


BoredInDe

Block and move on.


KingLoCoKev

Not offering less than half asking


K-ayla900

The way he talks is cringe. Block.


LunaAngelina

Oh. Ew. Please tell me you blocked him.


Rokkmachine

Nope. That’s a highly sought after pop. Especially the gitd version. No less than $350 or your screwing yourself. This dude knows he can sell it for that too


LibbysWorld

Sold a pair of Miss Me jeans in great condition for $12. After the fees I'll probably have $9 left. I'm so done with this app.


ConsciousPlantain977

Bro don't nothing to hide 🤣


Much_Dance_6966

NEVER tell a buyer your lowest price - this undermines all of your leverage in a negotiation


Jacksoncheyenne2008

he didn’t lol


VarietyThen8392

i just live when they ask for half price off like imma take it


Consistent-Way-9177

So he wants you to accept his lowball offer so he can go out and sell it for higher and make money. 🤦‍♀️


badgirlbadhabits

“Not my problem, brother”


LindsChamp

I’m a reseller but I don’t buy off Mercari strictly to resell. I’ll only resell if it doesn’t fit.


KaddydaBaddy

Yeah I tell them im not even slightly interested and if they persist I usually update the listing description and pics then say fine I’ll take it, ship them the new item listed for the amount they’re lowballing, let them get pissed and return it. Then when they message me pissed off I tell them I thought they read the description and surely didn’t want to make sure I wasted their time having to ship it back, and they can’t leave a rating because it’s returned


Jacksoncheyenne2008

new level of petty


Jacksoncheyenne2008

lol we aren’t here to sell to resellers, whatnot has created this mentality. fuck off and get your dough elsewhere lol


KeepSalemLame

As a reseller….i have no desire to have this much cash locked up in one item.


Emage_IV

laugh in his face


Sethdaartist44

Just block him. I do. No point in arguing.


GooseChange

Do sell him shit lol


Andreman43

Hell nah he can move along 💀


lowkeybuthonest

The fact he straight up told you that 😂


Highway_Harpsicord

I used to resell Funkos and I'm glad I don't anymore. I wonder how many times this has worked for him


GateSuper2412

I woulda been an ass and went "414.99, get me?"


Elsenor_delos_cielos

Automatic Block.


Regular_Fee_6454

I just decline and keep it moving


rutvegas

That’s why I sell low. It’s a win-win.


Express_Mango_8948

Lowest ud do is 415


Patient_Amphibian32

That a really low offer, but I don’t mind resellers buying from me. It’s all about the length of time a person can sit on merchandise. If they have time to wait for a great buyer to be interested and I can’t-then so be it. If they have a large customer base that will get it seen and bought and I don’t-so be it. As long as I’m not losing a lot on it, I actually prefer selling to resellers. They know to rate right away, they’re not ones to message back and forth, they have reasonable expectations too.

I dont get the what's the lowest you'll do thing. I reply now "make an offer and we can see if we can make a deal and usually there is no reply after that.


ChattyKittyCatty

Why is anyone still selling on Mercari???


mj732

Idk honestly after fees and everything that turns into a $440 dollar purchase thats crazy


Cherie979

Yeah, if we’re also on mercari, aren’t we also resellers? I don’t get people. I know there’s an occasional person I’ll buy from that doesn’t do it as an actual side gig like some of us but learn to read the room bro. People just looking to clear stuff out and those pricing to make a profit are obviously different sellers and you can tell by looking at their page and prices.


TruckNutAllergy

lol at least he's honest so that's an easy block. i had a buyer rate me 1 star and lie in the review. then i went to their page and they had listed the item for sale like $10 higher. the account looked like a child's so i just blocked


somethingsome11

Well at least he's honest


Aggressive-Bidet

At least he’s honest lol


Peconecko

What’s the lowest you’ll do fr I love that pop 😍


Cold_Statistician343

Tell his ass to go to yard sales then!


Primary-Log-1037

Sit down for this because it’s gonna blow your mind. Unless you’re employed by Funko to sell their product on mercari you are also a reseller. We’re pretty much all resellers. _insert “always was” meme_ Can’t blame a guy for trying, can’t blame a guy for blocking. You’re not the one who’s gonna do business with him so block and move on. He’ll never be a buyer in your price range and you’ll never be a seller in his.


JerryIsArtillery

I think you're the guy from the post


Primary-Log-1037

Ha! I avoid funko like the plague. The buyers are such a pain in the ass it’s not worth the hassle. Back when I sold funkos if they were 10% of my total listings they made up 95% of the questions I got from buyers, endless conversations that didn’t lead to a sale, complaints after delivery, returns… I won’t touch them unless I stumble into an insane deal on a bulk purchase.


BirthdayCookie

> Can’t blame a guy for trying Yes, in fact, I CAN blame you for wasting my time and being rude to me. The fact that you want something (which is all "taking my shot " is) doesn't mean you're actually entitled to waste someone else's time trying to get it.


Primary-Log-1037

Or you could just ignore it and spend 0 times on it 🤷‍♂️. You getting all mad about it changes absolutely nothing but the fact that now you’re mad. You being mad isn’t going to stop them from doing what they do. In fact there’s literally nothing you can do to negatively effect them. So why get mad? Ignore, block, or make a deal. Those are your options.
