Totally agree. I have found among members here there is much more civility in the FS area (you don’t crap where you eat). When it’s priced right, it sells fast with no haggling- we all know what this stuff is worth for the most part.
If it lingers, then we know it’s probably too high or the market for that watch is soft and the seller adjusts. It’s the way we wish it all could be.
You lost nothing. I wouldn't call that a fail.

A seller that is motivated to move the product and doesn’t have emotion involved will entertain realistic offers. My aforementioned $325 for an SM600 was on the low side but I gathered from the sellers history that they were a picker who commonly sold at Make offer (reading someone’s sold history is very valuable), and would counter wanting to move it- and they did. A seller who shows something listed 5 times and not sold is not willing to be realistic, I pass on them and don’t bother ever making an offer.
I never understand the seller who wants to sell but never moves on the price. Take a bit less and use that money to buy something else. But no, they end up stuck with an item purely out of spite. At some point you have to realize it’s time to move on.
Years ago we knew a elderly couple who had a nice 1950s Cadillac. The kind with the big tail fins and all the chrome. He wanted to sell it and no one would pay the asking price. Eventually it became a rust bucket and had be be towed away

Not really, I believe that I price my items realistically but when I’m trying to sell something for lets say 100 bucks and someone comes with an offer of 20-25 they are just playing around. I know that in order to sell something I have to negotiate. I even know that this is a hobby where you can loose money but I just won’t give away something just to move it. For that I rather give it to a family member or a friend.
I had a buyer lowball massively me on an ebay item. Like $30 on a $300 item. I declined. Then he upped it like $5. I declined again. He asked me what my best price was. I said $250. He declined and stated he didn’t want to play my games.🤦
