Second hand sales

Even I often buy things second hand, I have never sold anything myself. Until today. I have usually just given all the baby things etc. to my friends or colleagues, but now I got tired of waiting for a friend to pick up some things, so I put them on sale on dba.dk. With a great success, after just 2 hours in cyberspace I have already sold two children’s beds and tomorrow someone promised to pick up the bunk bed.

But I wonder if I act the same way when I buy things as these people?

The wife on the phone:
“Are the beds in perfect condition? No marks or anything?”
“Well, they have been used for kids…”
“But do they look like brand new?”
Is this lady stupid or what?
“Yes, they look like brand new. My kids are angels and having wings, they barely touch the beds when sleeping.”

Later the husband comes and picks up the beds.
“Hm…there are quite many stickers on them.”
“Yes, I thought about selling them for 100 kr extra, but you look like a nice guy, you get them for free.”
“I don’t know, the kids would like to have beds that look brand new.”
Is this guy stupid or what?
“In that case you have to go to Ilva and buy new beds for 1500 kr each instead of my 300 kr.”
“Okay, I take them. I guess Ilva is closed now…”
