Am I being honest in my listing if an item origianlly was say RRP £300 but I bought it a lot less and it still has the price tag on it withthe reduced amount with £300 crossed out . Would it be ok to say RRP £3oo in the listing

I would say 'originally priced at £300'. That'd be ok, surely?0

No one of these overpriced watches is it ?0

What is it?
That should determine the current RRP and a realistic second hand value.......0 -
If you're sending it with the tag on, say its original price and what it was reduced to, or just take a pic of the tag.
If it had an rrp of £300 and sold for £5 though it may not be worth bothering as the £300 would look fictitious.
As far as listing on Ebay goes it is always best to stick to the truth..0 -
I do it often. Many of my items come from an auction, bankrupt stock, end of line etc. Some are faulty or damaged and I repair them. The rrp can differ immensely anyway, depending on where you buy. If I can I put the current retail price. It's not a lie to quote rrp.0

If that's still the current RRP then I would state it.They deem him their worst enemy who tells them the truth. -- Plato0

If you put the RRP as £300 and most folk with a modicum of common sense could pick it up at say £100 (example only) then as a potential buyer I would be just irritated and if all else where equal would potentially buy from someone else.
You could of course though spin a story about how unbelievable the RRP originally was which might put a smile on my face.
Don't treat your buyers as idiots is probably the best advice.0 -
I always put the RRP (if the tags still on the item) and state whether or not its current stock. As a buyer I like to know the original RRP so i can determine if im getting a bargain.0

Personally I dont think it matter what RRP you put on. These days the price shops sell new items for normally has little baring upon the RRP. As a buyer I would look around and get a feel for what the "normal selling price" is of the item I want. Then, if i get it cheaper than the normal selling price then I think ive got a bargain.
Therefore, for me, it wouldnt matter if the seller put an RRP of £100, £200 or £300. If the "normal selling price" was £100, then thats what id be prepared to pay as a maximum.0 -
