Set Your Price for Marketplace Notification

Mike Schneider 1 month ago updated by sales 1 month ago 1

Getting notified when a wishlist item is listed at 'under market price' when it's 99% of market price is basically junk mail. This goes double for notifications about copies of the game which are too far above or below what I'm currently looking for. ( For example: If someone is collecting loose NES cartridges, even a good price on a graded copy might be 50-100+x what they're looking to spend. )

With every item on my wishlist, there are conditions/ levels of completeness I'm looking for and a price point I have in mind that I'm looking to spend for them. If notifications could be tailored to that, it would be infinitely more useful. There is a point where any notification I can get to fast enough would result in a sale.

If those price points were visible to potential sellers they would know at what price they'd need to list the item for it to sell quickly. ( Heck, I know I'd be interesting to see how those numbers chart compared to what the game is currently selling for on ebay. ) It could even open the door to sellers being able to propose bulk deals to buyers. There are so many games that are valued less than the cost of shipping but if they have 10 or 20+ titles that are on someone's wish list which they would happily sell for equal or less than that buyer says they're willing to pay, there's absolutely deals to be made.

Thanks for this feedback.  We do plan to make some changes to the wishlist feature to let people control more of what they receive notifications for.  Prices, conditions, etc.  

I like the idea to see what prices people are willing to pay right now too.  That will be very helpful to add so sellers know when listing something for sale.
