A Pet-Peeve

There are so many pet-peeves out there. Something always gets on someone else's nerves, right? But let me just describe one of mine. It is my blog, after all.

So you're selling something used. It could be in your garage sale. Or Ebay. Or on craigslist. Are you a retail store? No. That means you don't need to charge what a person could purchase it for in the stores. It also doesn't mean if you price it at half of what it retails for that it would be considered a good deal. Don't get me wrong, in some cases, that's true. I'm sure we've all come in contact with a good deal - something that you've been searching for and finally found at a reasonable price. Yay! Buy it. But the items that can be found on every corner?

While on the topic, does it really matter what you paid for it when it was new? I mean it's good to have an idea of how much the item is worth, but I really don't care if you paid $20 for something you're now selling in your garage sale for $3. The point is, you don't want or need it anymore.

And someone else does.

So get out there and sell your "junk". It is, after all, someone else's treasure. Just don't charge a thousand dollars for it.
