I'll try to keep this general, and I'm sure the correct answer is "it depends", but I'd like some feedback on how I should price a practically new snowblower I'm selling. My mom bought a 8 hp 28" MTD made blower, made one pass and decided it was way too much machine for her, so asked me to sell it.
I've had it listed on CL for a couple weeks at 25% off retail price. That puts it about $300 higher than what seems to be the going market rate on more tired/rusty machines from 15-20 years ago. I haven't had one inquiry, and we've had a couple decent snowstorms.
I just want to make sure I'm not crazy on how I priced it. Is 25% off new retail price a reasonable price to ask, or should I consider discounting further? I know the snow blower market’s up and down through the winter, and I really don’t want to be sitting on this thing come March. But I also have an obligation to get as much for it as I can for my mom.
I'd appreciate any general thoughts!
