Getting no buyers for a standup desk I am selling. What embarrassing mistake did I make today? 🤨

[jorna-74]

Hi so I am trying to sell this desk since December and It's almost the end of January so how much did I mess up my listing? Does anyone know why no one likes my desk? It's a very productive piece!🤓

Check out sold listings, similar to yours.  If you are looking for a quick sale, you may have to re-think the price.

What mistake? The same one as you made previously, re advertising?

I haven't looked at your listing, as the last thing I need is a standup desk. I have no knees.

But as a general rule of thumb, used is worth less than new, clear pics are worth more than lazy ones containing extraneous objects. As an aside, extraneous objects included in pics usually have potential buyers expecting said extraneous objects included in the sale.

@twyngwyn do I click on every profile here and PM everyone on this page so they can give feedback on the listing or do you prefer I describe every single photo on my listing by text description?

[jorna-74]

I did and now I can't find it. I don't remember deleting it. I don't know what happened.

Alright, how is it insane? It's $515AUD new. I'm selling it $224.00 half price with the condition "used". How is that insane? Also, I don't recall saying "new" anywhere at all, where does it say "new"?

Settle pettle.

Papermoon was saying those desks are expensive new that's all.

Not anything about your listing. 

Sheesh.

I saw a similar one with all the bells n whistles for $950. (IMO, a little pricey)

Wow the insult vanished... guess they didn't want advice after all.

[jorna-74]

Look, I'm not a pro seller. I'm just a newb trying to declutter my room. So I don't know how to access your link at all.  Reason, why I started high, is because I know if I start at $50 everyone is going to haggle with me for an even lower price. Honestly, I never expected to sell it for $224.00 at all. Maybe I should have made a bid instead.
