Ever feel like people selling USED items need to get a grip on what stuff is really worth

I have been looking at craigslist for graco doubles and it never ceases to amaze me what folks think they can get for used things. Maybe it's just cause I'm a garage sale kind of girl. Things should be 10, 20 maybe 50 bucks. But $150 or $125 for a used stroller when I can get it new at BBB for 199 with a 20% coupon on top of that. I have to scratch my head.

I always make used items 50% of the value unless they are new with tags...

I've been searching for a double as well and I laugh when I open a link and it's a double from YEARS ago and they are asking $125 and up!

I'm not looking to rob anyone but I agree that people need to rethink their pricing on certain items, esp. on Craigslist!

ITA. I went to Target and got toys at 75% off, so when I see people trying to sell used for 50% it boggles my mind.
