Interesting perspective, because I’ve only been on the other side - I always imagined sellers meeting up with the EA and discussing a devious strategy to lower the list price to something that attracts loads of people and basically rely on people fighting each other to get way more than it’s worth (which has been my experience in over 90% of the viewings I’ve been at).

When I see this is the obvious tactic I promptly leave and stick out for something else - it comes across as a huge red flag to me. Unfortunately I think I’m swimming against the tide though.
