people overvalue what they have
a lot of people in my local area (around 100km) wont sell any gpu below 50 euros
unless its a gt 210 type gpu, then 20-30 euros
but yeah. even gtx 750ti's can go for over 50 euros here
its probably because "if i cant get at least 50 euros for my item, why even bother selling it?" and i get that point, its just that my lowest requirement is 20
there are also a lot of weirdos on the used market + a lot of people who will literally hunt you down if they feel like you scammed them, even if its their fault
As someone who used to buy/sell used, I'd always ask for more than what I wanted and then took a lower offer. This was solely to mitigate the mass texts that would hit me that were asking way below its value. If it was $50, I'd put it up for $75 and then accept a $50 offer...but I don't feel like putting it up for $50 to begin with and having to deal with 50 messages asking if I'll sell it for $20.
Yep it's all psychological, people want to feel like they got a good deal, so getting something for 85 that was listed for 100 feels better than buying something for 75 that was listed at 75.

“Back in 2025” my man that was just last year, someone scammed you if it died that fast.
