I think sometimes, is it wise
to spend time trying to sell most of my stuff? It
takes a lot of time to take
picture, make images into web
format and then write ads. Then
it takes time to wait for potentials
buyers. For example: This weekend
I sold a pair of Jamo
speakers to a buyer who drove from Ronneby, that is 1000 kilometers .
Thankfully they hold the time that the buyers promised,
but I have also sold windsurfing stuff to people who
really do not hold the time
they say they will come. And then I go for a
whole day while waiting for them
to come. Often free time wasted.

On my bathroom mirror says that I should "Focus
on the meaningful." But I question whether it is worth the time to try selling the most expensive gadgets? I've put a lot of time
to accumulate stuff and now I put a lot of
time to get rid of them? Does it make sense? No, I
don´t think so, but it feels better if I try to sell it before it gets donated
or thrown away.
Oboy, Who would
have guessed that not before I collected all this stuff, I finally realized
that this is not what I want...

I've been in this exact same boat several times. My advice is to not go out of your way and wait around for buyers. If they really want what you're selling then they will work around your schedule. I know it's tough because you want to sell the stuff for the highest price possible, and maybe only 1 or 2 people are interested, but then you have to start putting a price on your time as well. Is it worth they extra money to sit around and wait all day?
ReplyDeleteHi Christine!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :)
Yes. I have noticed that I get more respect (time wise) when I am clear about that my time is important, and that I appreciate when they arrive at our schedule time. I was very clear about this when I sold a couple of speakers, and it worked. :)
But I guess it depends on people’s attitude and respect for other peoples time. We are all different I guess..
Yes, my time is very important, it’s one of the most precious things we have here on earth, thanks for reminding me :)
