Perceived Value

My wife was trying to sell our couch on craigslsit to make room for other furniture. :rolleyes:

Anyway, she had the couch listed (cheaply I might add) for about a week and hardly had any interest. Then she decided to re-post it. This time she [B][U]upped [/U][/B]the price by 33%. Within three hours, she had 5 or six people want to come see it. The first person that got there paid us, loaded it up, and went home. :smiley:

Just goes to show that people don’t always go for the cheapest price. Sometimes they know that they get what they pay for. So even if something is a good deal, sometimes people will pass it up because they figure it’s too good to be true.

I just thought I’d share. Maybe encourage others to not lower their prices and maybe even up them a bit. (Thanks Kevin for encouraging that so much)

would a selling quote be ā€œyou get what you pay forā€?
I should try on one of my customers. Give them a really high bid and say the quote, and if they reject it, I’ll tell them i was just joking and give them regular price

Sounds very unprofessional.

That sounds like a great way to Lose customers!

No one knows what your service is worth until you tell them. :wink:

that is a fact

Actually, John, I don’t encourage my competitors to do that at all…just me, in my local market :slight_smile:

And you’re welcome!
