Some people don't quite get pricing and that they seem to want to hang onto their junk (they are selling) rather than let it go for a reasonable price.
One guy had a B/G router on Craigslist for the price of a new AC/X router. I sent a helpful message "hey these sell for $5 because they are obsolete, at your price nobody will buy that except a grandma that knows nothing about WiFi."
He replied with a tirade of nasty insults, that I ignored. Few days later he emails against asking if I want it for $10.
I replied that I don't want it , it is obsolete, I was trying to help so you don't sit on it without a sale. And he replied with more swearing and insults.
3 months later I see it still for sale, and still too high. So I could not resist a little "I told you so" message.
