[General] replying the question

[goodstudent]

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

I have an email asking me if I wish to see 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.

Thanks

Your title should read "Replying to a question".

In your first sentence, did you mean "asking me if I wish to sell my stuff", not "see my stuff"?

Asking you if you want to see your own belongings seems a little odd.

My bad, typo error, it should be "asking me if I wish to sell my stuff"

Or simply: What are you offering?

 

[goodstudent]

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.

So that means sentence A and B are in wrong english? Any way to make it correct?

A) I may or may not sell it. It depends.

B) I may or may not sell it. It depends on what you are offering?
