Only those who will be sellers of equities in the near future should be happy at seeing stocks rise. Prospective purchasers should much prefer sinking prices.

Warren Buffett

We're going to continue to do what's right for the growth of the business. Our pricing strategy is not to maximize margin percentage growth but to maximize buying for our customers, ... As we grow, we'll be able to get better economies of scale, better prices from our suppliers and our third-party sellers. All that should help margins.

Tom Szkutak

There is something magical about reverse directories. Making this information public is a healthy thing. And we are using technology the way it should be, by bringing together groups of sellers and buyers who now have no way to reach each other.

Felix Kramer

Foreign funds are no longer buying the way they were a month ago. They have gone short in futures and are net sellers so far in April.

Procuring cause should simply go away. It's an antiquated system. Buyer agents should earn their fee according to the contractual agreements they enter into with buyers. We need to have honest, contractual agreements on both the buyer's side and the seller's side.

Tom Early

Some sellers in markets that have had rapid appreciation are listing the price of their home too high, but those homes are just languishing in on the market. At the same time, some buyers who have believed hype about a housing bubble are hoping housing prices drop, but that's not happening either.

Thomas Stevens

One-year-ago I characterized it as a feeding frenzy, when there are too many buyers, not enough sellers. Today it's just the opposite the accumulation of inventory is growing.

Phil Mccabe

On the upside, at least the buyers are stepping back in and it isn't just all sellers. We're seeing buying in gold stocks, energy, semiconductors and other oversold names. There's also a lot of economic data coming down the pipe in the next few days and that should give us more to chew over.

Bryan Piskorowski

It's an unbelievable market. I've had sellers call and say they want to double the asking rice for their homes. I'm sure I'm going to make a lot of enemies, but that just shouldn't be. I want business but I don't want bad business. I won't take their listing.

Barbara Dixon

We want to help sellers grow even if that means off the marketplace -- beginning an exciting new chapter for you and your business, and for us as well.

Dolly Riegert Woodruff

We will auction one-of-a-kind items, some of our newest Sharper Image Design products, as well as established best sellers.

Richard Thalheimer

Typically, 'good-faith negotiations' do not portray the buyer holding a gun to the seller's head. These negotiations have been tinged with bad-faith since April, when the City told property owners they had to be out of their homes by New Year's Eve. Mr. Green can pretend he's dealing in good faith, but he's really playing with a corked bat.

Peyton Knight

To work on the seller platform, making it easier for sellers to sell.

Tom Szkutak

We've got momentum sellers. The company didn't beat the earnings forecast on the upside.

I expect to see a fairly balanced market for the rest of the year, but an active market. It took a little while for buyers and sellers to figure out where the market is. I think people are getting more comfortable.

Rick Laws

Many sellers don't want a potential provision that would negate a sale.

People really like some of the different choices we offer. The Italian nachos are one of our best sellers.

Christian Coughlin

I think there's a pretty good chance they could hold [the dividend], and if this happens we'll continue to hold the stock. But at the first sniff of a dividend cut, we'll be immediate sellers. I think you'd see a mass exodus from the stock in that case.

Matt Kelmon

Our biggest vending machine sellers are The Wok Cookbook and a French-English dictionary.

Dave Wallen

This must stop. We will punish sellers of fake braces.

Jane Friedman

Houses really tend to look their best this time of year. I encourage my sellers to capitalize on all the holiday trappings.

John Baylor

We have gas plants and coal plants. Through different exchanges and bilateral agreements, we have bought carbon allowances to cover our generation position to 2007. There have been some days when we have been buyers of allowances, fewer days when we have been sellers.

Mark Klein

I seriously put him in the same league as Alec Guinness or Peter Sellers. If he had gone into film he would have been enormous in films as well.

Alex Vallecillo

However, this is also a potential negative as well, as buyers and sellers communicating on 'the phone' makes it easier to take transactions off eBay.

Robert Peck

We're still not in a buyer's market. We're somewhere between a neutral market and a seller's market. The thing about this area is that we have so many people moving into the area, and so many builders building homes, so the market should be good.

Dave Nash

On the financial side, direct selling has low overhead, robust cash flow and there's little need for an advertising budget because that's what your sellers are doing for you.

We're here to link buyers with sellers. Anything that helps our advertisers helps us.

Dana Benton Russell

We are more likely to be -- as we did last year -- sellers of assets rather than buyers.

Lyndon Cole

The price has nothing to do with costs, so the sellers have to grope around for price points that the public can live with and that will make the company enough money to pay their acquisition and royalty costs. Certainly, Apple knows that if they raise prices too fast, 'free' will become more attractive.

William Greene

For private to private sellers, there aren't a lot of protections. If the problem continues to be as large as it is, there's going to have to be laws put in place.

Cleo Manuel

We stock what we know are our biggest sellers. Then we stock seasonal, and our prices are very reasonable.

Monica Procar

I think everyone benefits in a slow market. I think the buyers benefit in getting a property at a better price, and I think sellers are still getting a very fair price for their property. There is not an imbalance.

David Kerr

You recognize but one rule of commerce; that is (to avail myself of your own terms) to allow free passage and freedom of action to all buyers and sellers whoever they may be.

Francois Quesnay

A lot of sellers really just care about the bottom line. They don't even want to read the letters.

Gabriel Jafet

There are many sellers who have contingent offers on properties that they're having to withdraw because they're not getting their homes sold.

Aaron Zapata

To me, short-sellers are no good for long-term investors. They can move prices of a stock in a way that has nothing to do with fundamental intrinsic value.

Bob Millen

The Life and Death of Peter Sellers.

Peter Sellers

The sellers will have to get more realistic to the market in what they can actually sell their home for.

Bob Reed

It's a huge technical negative to make new highs and fail. It's the funds. All of a sudden they all turn sellers.

Leonard Kaplan

Together, they have been responsible for a remarkable number of distinctive books that have won critical acclaim and been hugely popular, sustaining big sellers.

Stephen Rubin

Now, we're re-educating sellers, telling them that if you want to get your price for a home, it has to be cleaned up and planted. People remember flowers and color. It leaves a positive impression. And if you're selling your home, that's exactly what you want.

Sue Sorenson

We're looking at what a market has to do to seek and find equilibrium. Those sales had to slow; otherwise sellers wouldn't get the message.

Rick Laws

An experienced technical person can make $70,000 to $80,000. Someone with management skills can make $100,000 or more. It's all moving toward becoming a seller's market.

We still have an oversupply of buyers over sellers, especially in the largest apartments and most desirable neighborhoods.

Pamela Liebman

There is a long buyers' list and a short sellers' list.

Ray Soudah

A few years ago it was suicide to overprice a house and then reduce it. Now we're telling sellers to pick their price... there is no harm in reaching because the market is moving so quickly.

Diane Saatchi

The principle of procrastinated rape is said to be the ruling one in all the great best-sellers.

Victor Sawdon Pritchett

Everyone is aware that it takes longer to sell a home now, both because we have more sellers and also because it takes the careful buyer longer to view all the choices he has.

Thyra Edwards

The buyers were pausing, and the sellers didn't seem to notice.

Pamela Liebman

I think sellers are being unrealistic. The house I'm looking at down the street, the (recent comparable sale) is $1.5 million, and they're asking $1.98 million.

Richard Fleming

For eBay to maintain its lead in the online auction market, it needs to continue to innovate and provide more services and conveniences for both its buyers and sellers. One of those conveniences is just slicing and dicing the community in as many ways as possible, and I expect them to do a lot more slicing and dicing as they continue to get bigger.

David Trossman

The Arabs love to sell. It's true these transactions take time, but that's only for reasons of the sellers' image.

You're going to flush out sellers that are pretty desperate to get out of their position, and that's probably going to drive down overall prices.

Brian Charles

It's hard to tell where the neutral point is, but it's fair to say that we are shifting from more of a seller's market to a buyer's market.

Harvey Shapiro

I think it's the realization that some of the inventory is not (in) the premium location or in premium condition and it's on the market at a premium price, ... Buyers are opting to let the inventory stay there. Some sellers are well-meaning, and others are opportunistic, but they're finding buyers are much more educated and much more discriminating and the result is standing inventory.

Tom Hart

Big institutions are preparing for the fiscal year end, so there are few sellers in the market.

Kazuyuki Naito

Larger sellers give us a depth of inventory that we need, but the smaller sellers really give us the flavor.

Holly Macdonald korth

For the past few years it has been completely a seller's market. Now buyers are going to start to feel like they have some bargaining power, because there are more choices available to them.

Bradley Hunter

Normally, we are on the phone begging them for more maps. This year, they are not one of our big sellers.

Sam Richard

Most eBay sellers, until there's another channel that has significant volume, will stay. They may grumble and complain about fee increases but eBay is in the driver's seat.

Martin Pyykkonen

Estate agents are reporting increasing buyer interest and that buyers and sellers are reaching agreement on price more readily.

Fionnuala Earley

Many of the top sellers now have their own e-commerce site or are part of a mall with other sellers. Sellers are becoming more savvy.

Julian Phillips

We are returning to more balanced markets between home buyers and sellers, one that places buyers on a more even footing.

David Lereah

It is calming down. The bottom line is we're transitioning into a much more balanced market between buyers and sellers. It's been a seller's market.

Walter Moloney

We've had some pretty good gains in a lot of sectors lately that need to be adjusted. The encouraging thing is we're not seeing a lot of volume, so there aren't a lot of sellers out there.

Angel Mata

It is one of the biggest, best sellers of all time.

Colleen Mccullough

Some sellers think about selling, but after they realize how much they owe and how much they can sell for, they realize they can't afford to sell. Usually, it's because they borrowed too much.

Brian Mitchell

That's how the system has always been, they [sellers] have become accustomed to it and they can't compete otherwise.

Sid Connor

The buyers are saying we are not willing to pay these prices. The sellers are saying you are asking me to lower the price, but I see that if I compare it I am very well priced. My answer is everything is overpriced.

Jacky Teplitzky

Larger hubs of buyers and sellers combined together make it easier for them to find one another.

Bill Cline

My wife and I bought the house on Oct. 28. We passed papers and moved in. We saw the house three times before we purchased it. The seller's agent from Century 21 was there all three times, and we also had a home inspector look it over. That's why what happened here shouldn't have happened.

Tim Creamer

One of the benefits of eBay Express to sellers is added exposure at no added cost or no added work.

Jamie Iannone

The sellers felt that a guarantee wasn't necessary when selling such iconic works in a market as majestic as it is today.

Guy Bennett

The housing market is in transition from more of a sellers market to a buyers market on a national level.

There are very few sellers in the market -- the funds are driving it.

Neil Buxton

The higher prices, along with any increase in mortgage rates, could make negotiations between buyers and sellers tougher this year.

Dave Otto

The rings are great sellers because they keep the man hard and they stimulate the woman.

Al Bloom

One important thing in the application process for sellers will be to verify that their items are produced locally and are from those counties. The Farmer's Market is for the nature and well being of the local community and for those producers trying to boost their business.

Jenny Taylor

This should remove a major barrier for any software developers who are interested in innovating and growing businesses on the eBay Platform, but are unsure about the costs. This change will allow developers to explore new business models as they create solutions to enhance the experience of buyers and sellers on eBay.

Greg Isaacs

So maybe you're losing the equivalent of a month's rent or more. But you could save several thousand dollars if the sellers pick your deal over one from a less flexible bidder who is offering more money.

Art Godi

A lot of the low hanging fruit has been picked off ... [but] I think there are willing buyers out there and willing sellers out there even at these prices.

Christopher Sheehan

She called me on Monday to tell me that there had been another offer on the house and the sellers were going with the other contact. Our offer was better. She said they were old, fuddy-duddy people and wanted to sell their house to a young couple.

Shahrzad Miller

The huge (ice cream) sellers are peach and strawberry.

Laura Walker

The buyers are there and the sellers are finished for the year for the most part. Those who have cash sitting on the sidelines are putting it to work.

Michael Lyons

Sellers are beginning to show that they understand what's happening and they're adjusting to the marketplace. As there's more inventory now, the condition of the property comes into play even more.

Rick Laws

The problem was you really could not differentiate between serious sellers and those that were testing the market.

Jacky Teplitzky

What lesson can we draw from New York's post-Andrew temporary market dislocations? If public policy stays the course, and assists in the efforts to match buyers and sellers, the private sector will act to stabilize the market. It always does.

Bernie Bourdeau

However, given that they were sellers some time ago at a mooted price of around 140 pence a share, when the company was effectively put up for auction, we would be very surprised if the levels being talked about didn't appeal to them.

Seymour Pierce

The market's...been braced for political uncertainty in Japan and in the U.S., ... Sellers cannot be too aggressive because a consensus now is that the Nikkei below 15,000 could be a bargain.

Kazuyuki Naito

Our best-sellers are probably the Mississippi Mud brownies and, of course, everybody loves chocolate chip cookies.

Navarrete Ashford

I do not see any need for open houses right now. Houses are selling quite rapidly and sellers can focus on other items of importance.

Sharon Reynolds

We're meeting an important need by offering our high-end, comprehensive real estate services to clients north of the river, which is the fastest growing area in Southwest Florida. This convenient location will benefit home buyers, sellers, commercial clients, builders and developers.

Dave Minton

If the specialist cannot effectively perform his role, then we need to look for alternatives including the electronic matching of buyers and sellers, with no human intervention.

Maurice Greenberg

One was healthy eating so we had one of our clinical dieticians do a grand round. We sat down with the head of dietetic services and she introduced a number of healthy new items on the menu. We've found them to be best sellers.

Glenn Yaffee

We can't hit every piece of property right on the nose. It's mass appraisal. If you had the same home with three different buyers and three different sellers, you could conceivably come up with three different prices.

Robert Gerhardt

These things even out, they really do, and sometimes you get a break. I felt like we got a break with Sellers that week, I really do. There's going to be games where you don't get the calls that you want.

Mark Brunell

The market reflected losses on foreign exchanges. We're waiting for positive news. We did not have any large sellers. I expect the market to recover next week after this week's fall.

Mario Zawadzki

Its embarrassing, you try to overthrow the government and you wind up on a Best Sellers List.

Abbie Hoffman

The significant increase in available houses for sale is good news for buyers who have many more choices available to them, but sellers now may have to revise their marketing strategies if they hope to stand out in this crowded market.

Ragfl President Dori Longhini

Direct sellers tend to be globally diverse. They aren't typically leveraged to the U.S. consumer, which has been spotty lately.

Douglas Lane

If you increase transparency between buyers and buyers or sellers and sellers you reduce the fear factor, which is what induces competition - the fear you will be beaten out by the other guy.

Joe Sims

So much depends on the price of that crude oil and that's determined on the worldwide marketplace by all of the buyers and sellers out there.

Rayola Dougher

Manufacturers and sellers acting within the law should not be held responsible for the actions of criminals who misuse their products.

Olympia Snowe

I think what's happening is that with Japanese banks wanting to clean positions by March 31, we're hearing that they have been big sellers in North America.

Mark Lackey

The bottom line is that there were other contracts on the house and the sellers chose to sell the house for substantially less money than what my client offered.

Dale Sanders

Bank gift cards sell the convenience of being able to use them at many sellers. Many consumers are willing to put up with their fees to gain that convenience. The problem of using them for purchases greater than the card's balance is their dark secret. It means they can often be very inconvenient. And without convenience, they have very little going for them.

Evan Johnson

We are not interested in becoming the Saudi Arabia of ethanol. It's not our strategy because it doesn't produce results. As a large producer and user, I need to have other big buyers and sellers in the international market if ethanol is to become a commodity, which is our real goal.

Eduardo Carvalho
