Why waste your time, if you have no intention of ever buying?
We had swivel barstools for sale that were new and really nice. We lowered the counters 6 mos.after purchase rendering them useless for their ht.

It was hilarious!

One couple came and kept looking and looking at them. And kept walking around them, touching them and sitting on them, they drove their Cart home, got their car, came back and did the same. They asked for them at 1/2 price. I said, no.
Meanwhile, another woman had called and came in while they were still in discussions in their car(?)and bought them for full price at 125. in 2 seconds, saying they were absolutely perfect! Sweet!

I thought the first set of buyers were pretty nutty, but it was fun watching this lady load them into her SUV in less than 5 min., while they witnessed.

I am happy that I don't have anything ELSE to sell tho! EVER! lol
