So I had this ol lazyboy recliner, a really comfortable chair. I put a fair price on it. Lady calls and ask me to deliver as she has no truck. I get there, and see she is a elderly woman by herself living at a motel for old folks. I get the chair upstairs (second floor) in her apartment and she tells me, I dont have any money..........I was thinking he forget to mention what to do when this happens. What would you do?
I had made a good chunk of change last week selling some old stuff that I had placed on the patio. It gets a lot of sun and wnd out there so I dont let stuff set there very long. I take as much stuff to the restore as I do sell. Once outside it gets a 3 day shelf life lol. You dont want bugs, dust, and pine needles all over something. Plus temps are 100' degrees, that is no good for anything except a rock. This played a part of what I did.
Now mom and grandma has passed. The lady was sincere about paying she had helped a friend before I got there. The apartment was bare, and my old chair looked really good in her apartment. I remember what I went through with my mom before she passed and help was hard to come by. At that point I couldn't take her money. I have so much while others dont. I told her to pay it forward. My wife who was mad I dropped the price heart broke and understood exactly why I cut my loss.
Life is not a buisness transaction and how to get over on your fellow man. Folks having yard sales usually have fell on bad times. I dont take advantage of others misery. There is a great amount of money to be made selling gently used stuff. I prefer to make donations to my community. I have bought a dozen storage units just to put a free sign on all of it after I made $100 to cover expenses. If you try this stuff here with adults I can say it dont work. You'll have some old guy like me raising the price each time you made a offer lol.
Anyway, I wish the op good luck as he is at least working, so many his age have not taken personal responsibility. Good for him.
