There's nothing more annoying that someone saying they will buy something, then trying to Jew you down on the price when they come to your door. I can't stand it. It's why I'm not in sales. I would be arrested for homicide within a week.
I find it’s easier to just throw my unwanted shit out than to deal with people
$100 isn't worth the extra couple of hours needed to take it to PURE new perfection. A down to earth craiglister would understand this. A liberal millennial entitled communist wouldn't. I already spent and hour doing a vacuum and taking the cat balls down to pin heads.
Use pizzagate codewords to get big pedo bucks
Yeah I don't do craigslist anymore; left faceberg years and years ago. I just call the local christian shelter and they'll take anything no questions.
Consider just donating; Habitat for Humanity often will come and get it and you don't have to do anything (moving it or lifting it), i.e. old fridges etc
I gave up on donating businesses, they just turn around and sell it for obscene profit. A used bowl is at least $8 u.s.d and like a pair of jeans is $20 or more. Donate by giving directly to people. We donated my late mother's clothes to ladies at a nursing home and donated hospice supplies to something called "nurse's closet" that use unused supplies.
OTOH, St. Vincent DePaul isn't as mercenary as goodwill or salvation army
On one hand, donating is a great thing for both sides. Then it is often corrupted (think salvation army).
Its an excellent tax write off vehicle for "charitable donations" Write values of items, get receipts. Fuck them with their own game... You can come up with several thousand dollars this way each year if you are diligent (that washer on the side of the road... it is a donation if you make it work. Many work already, (often a few dollars to a few 10s of dollars if it doesnt)) or it is parts and scrap metal for the next exact attempt, (or just leave it on an empty house's driveway, someone else will grab it for what value they can get). It is pretty easy to come up with 5-10k deductions in donations each year in your spare time as an individual willing to haul the item to the donation center. - I digress...
On the other hand, it mostly goes to enrich the jew at the end of the day with most charities.
Could you show some examples of Salvation Army corruption? I looked, but all I could find were libshits crying out loud that Salvation Army is racist, sexist, homophobic, you know... all those things...
The Salvation Army went woke. I wouldn't give to them any more. They were the one charity I did sometimes donate to.
My biggest problem with the salvation army, is its a worldwide global charity...
You're the whinny bitch. I buy and sell second hand goods all the time, if you are not ok with the price proposed you just keep the object or money. You're a terrible seller. You don't even know how market works. If people are haggling down the price of your bedframe it's because it's worth less than the asking price. If it wasn't it would be already sold. You're the entitled count. You think people will line up and beg you to take their 100$ for your old bed you can't even hold on to for when the good price is on the table. You don't even understand how goods depreciate over time and how certain object depreciate more than others. You're just butt hurt because your bedframe isn't worth what you thought it was worth.
I think you meant "cunt" instead of "count" in this line >>You're the entitled count.
I do agree that he is probably viewing an item as more than its worth in its current state...
If I came to buy something and it had cat scratch balls that I should have to remove after spending 100$ on a wooden used item. I too would let it pass. Id accept me needing to clean it thoroughly and wipe away some fur, as I wouldn't allow it in the house until I did. I despise cats though.
I do meant cunt and not count. Stupid autocorrect.
It was so satisfying to watch the guy who took 2 hours round trip and spent $30 in gas to cash in on a ultra low balled offer, just to find out it was just a regularly low balled offer on a used but in good / great condition item.
The bitchy whiney entitled liberal millenial behavior was the icing on top!
Btw the guy spent 10 minutes asking how to put it together, essentially already accepting the item, before he decided "I'll try to low ball this low ball low ball item" that he did a deep dive on what could be wrong, THEN saw the micro cat balls. Which his bitch ass self can take out himself.
price haggling is free speech in a free market you commie flake. Take good pictures, clean your shit for max money, and dont get offended so easily.
Yeah. If you want to sell some used crap for $100 then price it at $200. Everyone negotiates with used items.
Consider donating to Haven House, it's a chain of Christian thrift stores that run rehabs for drug addicts and drunks
Perhaps. You should accept the fact that anything with cat scratches. Regardless of how few you think they are, will look USED to others.
Take 90 seconds of your life. Grab some ultra fine steel wool. Rub the scratches to remove any burrs that stick up, then find a wood filler as absolutely close as you can, or learn to mix paint and filler to make it... this isnt expensive 25 bucks if you need to mix paint into... fill scratches, rub over with steel wool again. paint with gloss/semi/matte (If you arent smart enough to figure out which you need, you can test on the bottom of surfaces after taping off a tiny area) clear to match other surface...
Fucking problem solved, no more cat bullshit no one wants to buy, and you sold an item you want to dump...
Your other option is to let it go for less.
if you fuck this up, and apply a filler that doesnt match when dry. It will look worse and those scratches will stand out like sore thumbs in a fucking room of thumbless polesmokers
will look USED to others.
No way a used item will look used. We'd have to sell it for a used price if that were the case! I'd have to raise the price to 50% then!
