Do Your Due Diligence, or Else!!!

I think it is interesting that on the first page of the sell forum more than half the listings have ZERO responses. That's an indication to me that 50% of the listings are priced too high, did not show photos, etc. On the second page half have 1 or fewer responses.

yes, but from the seller's viewpoint you can always be optimistic!

There is a difference between Optimism and Ignorance.

For example, someone is asking $1800 for a laptop I can purchase directly from Apple for $1450. That's is not optimism.

There is someone on POTN who sold a 5D Mark II refurbished for $2099, when it goes for $1999 on Canon's website. Granted he probably paid around $2099 after taxes and shipping, I would think a buyer would rather buy from Canon.
