Does anyone else here suffer from ‘Seller’s Remorse’?
I got a couple of extra 44mm SBs from Tox’s Group Buy that I didn’t technically ‘need’ as my wife had them in her part of the collection. I sold them for a small profit to help cover the US>UK shipping costs. Of course, I now regret that...
That may be why I started stalking the bands I had sold around eBay...
Let’s start with Papaya... I sold it to a guy who then clearly decided he didn’t like the colour, as he’d put it back on eBay for a few pounds less than he paid. I made a Best Offer of 2/3 what I’d sold it for and he accepted....
The Dragon Fruit I’d sold for £65 was relisted by the buyer a few days later, as she had allegedly decided to switch from AW to some Samsung monstrosity. Oddly, she relisted it for only £49.
It was then snapped up by a part-time reseller who immediately listed it for £109! Am I bitter? No... I found one on Facebook Marketplace for £15.
I managed to get hold of a sealed Surf Blue when they were still ‘new’ for £30. Again, as my wife had that colour, I traded it with one of the big U.K. resellers for a sealed Dark Olive. He sat on it for a couple of months before listing it with his usual markup juuussstt as eBay started to be flooded with them, as Apple were giving them away for free. Picked up a sealed replacement for £19.
It does work the other way too... paid £39 for one of my Celestial Teals. A quick bit of feedback stalking showed that the seller had paid £20 for it a few days before... I couldn’t believe I’d missed that one...
TLDR: Dude buys and sells some bands and spends far too much time back-tracing eBay feedback to make himself feel either smug or anguished...
