Explanation of seller tactics please

Hi

 

 

Ive been watching an item for months.  It is a vintage item and I am very familiar with the type of item being sold.  The seller has listed the item at at least 5 times its actual value.  Needless to say it has many curious people following it to see if it sells.  Which of course it hasnt.  I made a sensible offer and was rejected.  I dont understand the point of grossly overpricing an item,  I tried it myself and could see no follow through on the rest of my listings..  So is

 

the seller overestimating the items value and it will never ever sell no matterr how long its listed

doing SEO and gettting flow through somehow to other listings

has no intention of selling the item?

just a dope?  waiting for a dope?

 

Thanks...Im really curious as to the point of this tactic.

 

 

Any thoughts?

@performance_parts: perhaps they think that if you made an offer of $50 below the asking price, then someone else will do the same and they’ll end up getting $179... 😂
