I can see both sides of this argument. I leave the price up.

Price

Private in a public forum.

I say leave it up. I'm always looking for comparisons and cannot find prices.

 

[Adamal24]

Ah ok that's good to know

But I leave all my sold for prices up, and would prefer others to as well because most price guides are outdated..

is there a reason why someone would take down the price of their bat after it's been sold?

Here's one reason: Say a guy lists a bat for $200 and sells it for $175. If he puts up the real sales price, anyone following the thread will know that he gave a $25 discount, and will likely lowball him next time he tries to sell a bat.

Sellers don't want everyone knowing they took less than asking price.

this also makes no sense to me. if a seller is worried he's gonna get lowball offers, tell the lowballers to kick rocks. a bat is gonna sell for what it's worth. that's how a market works.

A question - do most bats here sell for the asking price?

i have no idea and the answer is irrelevant. the price a bat sells for is all that matters.

it's irrelevant to the market.

asking price is worthless. you can ask $1000 for a white steel - you aren't gonna get it. and if you drop the price down to $100 and sell it and post that sold price on the sale page, that doesn't mean the next time you sell a bat the buyer should expect a $900 discount just because that's what happened in your previous sale. that's ridiculous.
