I think when I decide to sell one of my houses rather than do a list or ask price, I'll post a price 200 k less than assessment and say bidding starts at this. Not sure what else you can say is listed for 350 but refuse to take 355 for in an offer.

Seems like its better to intentionally sand bag the list price and eventually some will get carried away and overpay than ask what it was worth in the first place. Imagine going to a car dealership and offering 40 grand for a car listed at 35 and the dealer saying...no I was hoping for 42.
