Aside from all the work- listing items, taking pictures, answering questions, boxing up and shipping the items (in many cases), and sometimes dealer with idiot buyers on eBay and FB Market place- They also have to assume the risk of not getting as much as they thought they would. If it were me and a seller came in with an item that I can't find a comp on, I'm paying as little as I can for it.

    I've seen a few of these Corona's here in Chicago. They were popular back in the day with travelers. Price goes between 300 and 1100 depending on which version an condition. As a lover of typewriters, if it was working and I could buy ribbon to make it work, I'd pay 700 for it. You probably could get more if you left it online.

    When dealing with people in the store, or housecalls, out picking, etc, giving more than the seller is asking, which in my opinion is just being fair with them, is something I do as well. Been told I'm crazy to do that, but I figure it is just good business and good karma. If it is a bargain marked price at a sale, flea market, etc, then I just buy it and walk, no negotiation....and have ended up being given a discount the next time around by sellers known for not giving discounts just because I "never ask for a discount". Has worked for me for 33 years.

    Oh come on. $150 for a hat full of Commie flair, but the Duncan Keith Blackhawks jersey in a video from around the same time got rejected because they're commonly available at local Value Vilages for $40?
    I could see if this was a shop in Vancouver, British Columbistan, Canada. But in Chicago?
