If this is an indication of the prices you are asking then you are the BOZO. In case you didn't know MSRP (manufacturers suggested retail price) is a products suggested price at release time. I sell network switches that HAD a MSRP of $15,000, they are last years models or refurbished and I can only expect to get $2,800 for them at most. I'm not sure where you get your “BRAND NEW” cordless phones but I would wager that you have last years model and it may or may not be refurbished, chances are you don’t even physically have the phone and you use a liquidator/dropshipper. I further bet that you don’t know the first thing about cordless phones, what is last years model, how quickly they drop in value, the price differences between two relatively similar phones, etc. Go ahead and pretend that your cordless phones are worth $150. Why don’t you tell us exactly what model telephone you have. Lets check the actual price.

Same item is being sold for $12 and some change.
Strangely your $37.95 is exactly the wholesale/dropshipper MSRP to the penny. You seem to miss the operating word which is SUGGESTED.
What did you do before you started this grand online selling business in 2001. Go back to doing whatever it was you were doing. With your pricing and merchandising strategy you have a long slow painful death ahead of you where you will blame every factor around you for you continued failure; the economy, ebays fees, ioffer. The problem is you. You don’t have anything to sell, you don’t know anything about what you try and sell and you don’t check CURRENT market prices.
You are the one who doesn’t know what you are talking about.

I don't have a problem. I stock my own inventory. I know how to run my business. I earn a good living and I will continue to. Before I started my online business I had an offline Business since 1995. Thanks for your concern! You made me laugh.

GIFTSFORALLIDIOTS - we can tell from you merchandise and pricing strategy that you are quite the astute business person. Come on get off it with the I'm so successful bull, from your items and pricing anybody can tell that you are a complete idiot. Goodluck pushing that overpriced i love lucy clock. I'm sure you make a great living selling those. Oh I almost forgot, you don't just sell that crap you also sell $150 “Brand New” cordless phones and $50 Xbox games. You only sell that wholesale crap just for fun, you make most of your money in the competitive cut-throat world of “brand new” consumer electronics. I’m sure you have a great source for brand new $150 cordless phone, so good that you can compete in price with walmart, bestbuys, goodguys, and circut city. Buyers are just flocking to buy the latest greatest phones and video games from you. Go back to watching Jerry Springer or whatever you used to do before you started wasting bandwidth hawking $12 I love lucy clocks for $40.

Me too! I have a lot of "make me an offer" and really, just stuff I want to get rid of but don't want to give away.
