@trezchick , Gayle & @lookwhatbobfound Bob, I pretty much follow Bobs' line of thought and actions. I know that I must keep my inventory at competitive prices. Before listing any items I do a good bit research to determine a competitive price. Sometimes I even go back and redo some of that research after the offer comes in.
And since I sell only items which I have purchased for resale I do consider my cost of goods ( COG) . If I find some fault that I had not previously noted such as a missing part or tears in clothing I might send it back to the thrift shop as a donation.
I had almost rather re-donate it than contribute to the free fall of prices as has happened in the book business.
