    Why is everyone so sad to sell everything?!

    At the moment it seems as though it's a necessity to be sad about selling something, or at least say you are........namely vehicles.

    What the fuck is going on?!

    Do we really get that emotionally attached to steel with wheels, or has it just become an obligatory thing to write in an ad to somehow prove it's worth?

    It seems if it's for sale, the owner is moving overseas, having a baby or namely- is "sad to sell it", or "sad to see it go".

    For 99% of the cases, I call bullshit. If every damn vehicle seller that wrote that crap (which is the vast majority) was telling the truth, we'd have a lot more than one in five with a mental illness, and there would be no kiwis left in N.Z.


    For the record, I never write i'm sad to sell it, if i'm selling it, it's because I want a change, not because i'm a masochist who enjoys making myself sad all the time......I love it when i've sold a vehicle and can go out looking for a new one.......am I alone here? Am I the only one who sells shit in the hope of selling it for greener pastures?!

    I do take exceptions of being genuinely sad to sell a really good condition old Kingswood, A bike you really wanted but genuinely have to sell, but you see these stupid comments for some real un-impressive, standard things without any personality........highly replaceable in other words.

    It does seem to be de rigueur these days to be sad to sell anything. I put all my vehicles on the market recently due to investing too much into my business and leaving us in the poor-house!

    I definitely didn't want to sell any of them and am rather pleased to say I still have them all and we're still eating and still in our own home.

    So if anyone wants a one-owner '07 C50T with 27,000km...
    You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.

    Well, I'm going to be a little sad to see my bike go (if it bloody sells) as its been my first bike, and one that has opened up a pretty incredible new world to me. So yes, i am sad to be selling it, but it has to be done to upgrade...

    So Edbear... a 07 C50T huh? mmmmmmm have you got it listed anywhere?

    Well.... It was here on KB and on TradeMe but I didn't bother relisting it, so at present it is sitting quietly and forlornly in my garage while awaiting the funds to re-register it and service it.

    It's tormenting me, looking so sad and neglected... I might get it out this weekend and clean it and start it up, just to keep the battery alive and the fluids circulating, you understand... Nothing to do with missing it's V-twin beat...

    You might have to arm-wrestle me for it...

    Hehe oh I'm just hopeless at arm wrestling, quite pathetic actually. Well, hopefully you can get it back out on the road soon, summer really isn't that far away - o.k, who am I kidding, winter is going to be sticking around for quite some time.
