Why should the bike market be kept artificially low? Should we put price caps on it?
While it shouldn't be kept artificially low, it doesn't benefit anyone to clog the market with stale inventory that never moves. Project that out to our economy- it benefits nobody.
Having the same 50 bikes relisted every 3 days for over a year while the rest of the market moves is absurd. And in those cases, the seller is actually determining price. They are just determining a price which nobody wants to buy. That'd be fine if They then left the market eventually. Problem is, they never leave.
Odd group of people.
