Default OBO

Please allow OBO in the for sale section, it doesn't hurt anything, the worst a person can say is no. I prefer to not use the for sale section on this site, because I hate firm prices.

The reason we don't do OBO (Or Best Offer) is because there was a bad experience and a lot of hard feelings over this a while back. The incident involved a seller trying to get the highest price for that item being sold. If people want to to do the Auction thing, then there are plenty of sites out on the Web that can accommodate them. We are not setup to do auctions.

That's the seller's problem, not yours. Punishing everybody because of one idiot doesn't make very much sense. People need to be responsible for their own behavior.

Whenever I get around to selling all my excess stuff, I guess I won't be able to do it here, since I just want it gone...

I see both sides of the issue for sure.
Personally, I walk away from a sale that takes your bid awaiting someone elses higher offer.
That is not a sale, that is an auction and it has a place,but not here.
I do believe anybody has the option of offering the seller less than the stated price, that is a personal matter between them.
In my lifetime it has been an unspoken understanding,
and I'm sure it still happens here.
just my .$02

There is nothing stopping a buyer contacting a seller by private PM and make a offer.

So true Roland.

How I read for sale ads

When someone has
Asking $100
I read that as they are open to offers.

When someone has
$100 firm
I read that as no offers wanted

If a seller states a price and is willing to negotiate, all he has to do is simply say so.

ie: price is negotiable

It isn't that big of a deal folks.

It looks like what we really have is simply a semantics problem...the way you guys have been responding to/editing people's posts in the 'for sale' section implies that a firm, non-negotiable price must be listed in the ad. Now that you've clarified that the price can be negotiable, I agree, it's not a big deal.

To most people, 'negotiable' and 'OBO' mean the same thing; not seeing either of those things wouldn't stop me from making an offer anyway, but it will stop some people.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
