I am getting better in marketing

I was trying to sell lot of my things on craigslist and purposely I hosted the images on my website so that I can monitor how many people are looking at the ad. Well it was almost 4-5 days and everyone is looking at the ads but I never got a reply from anyone.

Is no one interested in an SLR camera? Or a good Guitar?
Well it can’t be.

So I came up with a plan today morning, to reduce the price. Well I reduced the guitar price into half so I can imagine why people were jumping on that. But I just reduced my camera price from 75$ to an attractive price. Well guess what the attractive price was? 70 minus 1 yeah 69$. Here is where the marketing comes, if I put 70 I don’t think people would have responded so I made it attractive 69$ and the camera was gone in 2 hours.

Can’t believe we still fall for that 9?

Well if you are the one who brought the camera from me, trust me you got the best deal. I myself was thinking of buying it since the price was so attractive.
