Current Events > I flipped a DVD/VHS player I bought at Goodwill and I feel bad

(+) Yeah! (+)

I paid 5 bucks for it. But I had to get it. It was in perfect condition, I mean looks like its straight out the box still. Works perfect too. Its selling online for like 70-100+ depending on condition.

i sold it for 35 and i even put or best offer, i wouldve taken less. Especially if it wasnt a reseller. Nice couple my age showed up and gave me 40 and I tried denying it but they were insistent. Maybe theyre flippers idk. But I hate flipping behavior.. I just bought it because I didnt want the group of vultures at my thrift store taking it. They were eyeing it when I grabbed it.

maybe because I was nice and held it for a week for them

Okay

I washed them

Its a doggy dog world out there, tc.

So you did something bad, and now you feel bad? Sounds like all is in order. Let those negative emotions serve as a reminder to stay on the straight and narrow.

Don't apologize. Money collector mentality includes cheating people out of fair-value. They only regret getting caught before closing a deal and, if caught, they consider the lesson a "gift to you."
