New blog post: Beware the seller still secretly attached to their stuff

[wyldwolf]

I can’t say that I blame them. I have an action figure collection and several sets of movie promotional glassware I got at fast food restaurants that I wouldn’t sell unless the price was REAL high. I love them and I want to hang on to them. But lately I’ve encountered folks who are actually listing their items for sale and then when I contact them, they hem and haw and ultimately end of rescinding their offer. Here are two recent examples.

I answered an ad from a guy who had “a box full” of adult DVDs. $2. a piece! NICE! When I called he made it clear they were “all straight and all white.” Lovely, a homophobic racist who loves his porn! But regardless, I’d be more than happy to take them off his hands. It isn’t a smart move to sell these on Amazon and they move slow on Ebay, but I do know a site that specializes in used adult movies and, because it lacks serious competition, you can price your inventory pretty high.

So the guy was happy I was interested and we set a time to meet up for me to look them over...

1. Good post

I agree that this can be a serious problem. The folks who are still emotionally invested in their stuff are the hardest to deal with. Much better to find the person that has already cut ties and just wants it gone. You get it cheaper and with a lot less drama.
