Okay, I am selling my junk furnitures these days. I put up a webpage with pictures and wait for people to come and buy. Then this Indian guy called me and said he would be interested in buying my mattress. Okay, sounds good! Then he came and said oh he is a poor student and can't afford $100 for a mattress. Oh, well, then I feel sympathetic and asked him how much he would like to pay. He said $75. I really think that $100 is already a good price considered how much I paid for that bed when I bought it. Finally I said yes. He then asked whether he can take the dresser too for $5 more. What??? He drove me crazy. I suddenly felt very mad. What is he talking about? He made me feel like my stuff is cheap. Get out of my place, right now! I hate those people who always bargain bargain bargain... It's moving sale and the price is already very low. They still want to push it lower. Come on. That reaches my limit and I am getting really mad at him.
Somehow this selling makes me think. Some people just don't appreciate others' kindness, but instead try to take advantage of it. Qing told me the story of her moving sale. A guy came in and bargained and insisted to buy a big TV for $20 and asked Qing, a person who may only live for 5 more years, to help him carry it to his car --- a BMW convertible.
The really funny thing about the Indian guy is, before he left, he insisted to leave with me his phone number. He repeated said to me that I must call him if I can not sell my stuff before thursday. I know what he thinks, he thinks if I cannot sell them before I leave then he can further take advantage of it and dream to buy the rest of my stuff with $1.
I would never call him. I'll just give the unsold stuff out or throw them away.
