Well right there is part of your answer; some stuff sell faster and or for more in one place versus another. Many times I have picked something up on Craigslist and sold it for more on Facebook marketplace.
Plus there is stuff that if obscure it can take a looooong time to sell and lowering the price doesn't change the fact much. Unless you pretty much give it away. I think the last thing I sold like that was a vintage car spotlight. After listing it for two months somebody finally came along that was tickled pink at finding it for what I was asking.
