i have an "internal care" for an item going to a good home, to be ridden by someone who desires it.
If you sell to A for £10 and A sells to B for £20, then the item has ended up at its best home because B obviously wanted it more than A did. A has done you a favour by finding a better home for your unwanted item than you managed by yourself. You're happy because you wanted £10 more than you wanted the item, A is happy because he also wanted £10 more than he wanted the item, B is happy because he wanted the item more than he wanted £20.

i understand
i have an "internal care" for an item going to a good home, to be ridden by someone who desires it. not for that item to be turned over for profit.
its the reason i sell here and many others, you make great connections with people you wouldn't have met otherwise ,
the users are so friendly buying it off you, squeezing little bargains or free stuff here and there, saying things like, theres a scratch, lower the price etc.
but then you question them afterwards, why did you buy it just to sell it? they act hostile, delete the accounts or become dormant.
again its that internal feeling knowing a bicycle or something you owned is making someone happy too, not for its cash value but the desire to ride or use.
i had a free seat post i sent to a guy on here a while back, and he sold it on for profit on ebay two days later. sad times. but lifes tough haha. im just not going to sell on here much anymore now, its happening a lot
