Reason for selling is...


I'm always amused that sellers bother to give reasons why they're selling their gear. Obviously in the vast majority of cases, they don't like it in their system. But only a very tiny minority will say that. People are (1) moving; (2) downsizing; (3) upgrading; (4) getting a divorce; (5) undergoing surgery.

Look, just assume buyers aren't stupid. We know why you're getting rid of stuff. If you haven't lied about the condition of your gear, do us the courtesy of letting us decide independently of your reasons for selling, which all seem to be designed to reassure us that your stuff isn't bad.

Telling prospective buyers you really found it for $29 at a Goodwill Store, and are selling it for $3,500. usually does not work.
Ditto for finding it at a Estate sale same thing..

My favorites are the folks who buy stuff, and are trying to sell it as new after owning it for a year or two, claiming they never used it, and are selling it because they had a change in plans.
that one is so common...
Does sounding like cat shit sound better or worse than weasel poo? Camel doo? Pigeon droppings? Bat guano?
