It's your thing.
It's your right to decide for how much to sell it and whether to tell others the price you sold YOUR thing for.

Any item is worth exactly as much as someone is willing to pay you for it.
And honestly, I don’t see anything wrong with someone reselling things for a huge profit.

Does it annoy me that sometimes they make even more money than the person who actually produced it?
Yes, it does annoy me.

But once again — any item is worth exactly as much as someone is willing to pay for it.
If they bought it, that means that’s what it was worth.

But now to the important part.
I’ve got these shorts with holes in them, but I still wear them and I don’t care. Do you guys do that too? Is it socially acceptable?

Some brands charge even more for clothes with holes in them…
Air-conditioned shorts might be great where you are at. Was -13F this morning here (no shorts for me).

I never have & still don't understand why sellers on The Exchange find it necessary to delete the asking price from their listing after a knife is sold.

Sellers can mark the knife as SOLD & strikeout the asking price without deleting it &, besides, the asking price is NOT necessarily the price at which the knife was actually sold.

So, can anyone explain the reasoning for deleting the asking price from the listing entirely after selling a knife? 🤔

--------------------------------

I've never done it when I've sold a knife & never will because I don't see the point in doing that.

And, FWIW, I've negated the relevance of the possibility that a seller will delete the asking price from a listing for any knife that I've purchase on The Exchange by stating that "I'll take" a knife for the specific asking price. That way, even if the seller deletes the ask from his listing, the ask will still be evident in my "I'll take it" post that the seller cannot delete. :cool:

On the other hand, this strategy doesn't work for listings are are "closed" to posts & where the seller only allows offers by DM & were all negotiations take place privately.

So, the above doesn't work in all cases. 🤷‍♂️
