I have an email asking me if I wish to sell my stuff.
How can I reply to him so that he knows that I bought the stuff for my own use, but since he asked about it, I may consider selling it if he can offer me a good price, if not I will just keep it for my own use.
I either sell or keep it, it depends on the price.
Thanks

Or simply: What are you offering?
I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
A) I may or may not sell it, it depends.
B) I may or may not sell it, it depends. What are you offering?
Is there anything wrong with the above sentences?
What is the meaning of "it depends"?
Is it ok to end a sentence with "it depends"?
Thanks
When you add "..., it depends" with a comma, you've created a comma splice. That joins two independent clauses improperly with a comma.
"It depends" means "It depends on what you offer me" in this case.
