Why is everyone so sad to sell everything?!

[Big Dave]

They are sad that they have to deal with the dropkicks that come around to their house to look at what they are selling.

And having wasted their time waiting for prospects to turn up and then ringing them only to be told they're "sorry but we've changed our mind and hope that's okay?"

There are currently 2750 auctions on trademe containing the word sad, 100 are motorbikes & 444 are cars. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Sear...ch_suggested=0

You have an interesting hobby.

Ed your post reminded me of when a young fella (long ago) going with the old man to have a look at an "immaculate " 850 Commando advertised in the Press,when we turned up there was plenty there amongst them a few patches and prospects,in turn they all took the thing for a ride,at one some stage the old man walked up to the seller and offered him a ridiculous price for which the reply was no better than "fuck off",he gave the guy his phone number and said "when you get sick of every cunt in the world with no money riding your bike give me a ring" took about a week then off to Christchurch to pick it up,was indeed immaculate.He kept it a few years then sold it to a bloke that worked for him for the same money he paid for it.Got some great old pics of it still.

Can go like that at times. I reckoned I could never live with my father we were like chalk and cheese. He wasn't smart though and I had little respect for him. Silly thing is that though he died in '89 I still wish he were alive. I guess blood really is thicker than water...

I will be sad to see my car go. Genuinely. I like many many of its cool features, its power, its handling, even how it looks. But I do actually need the money for a tech course, and I simply cannot afford to keep a turbo subaru running anyway. However i DID NOT say that i was sad to sell it in my Auction details. Cos thats my business, and the new owner need not know that.

[Little Miss Trouble]

One of my bikes I was genuinely sad to see go - my learner bike.
The other, not so much but "Shitty suspension, cheap factory paintjob, developing rust in places that a 2yo bike should NOT be rusting..." probably isn't going to sell it, so you put a spin on the story & flick that pile of junk onto some poor unwitting fool.

The ones that take the cake imo are the ones who claim, "this is like selling one of my children" Seriously?? HTFU!!

[oldrider]

I might have to sell my bike soon and that definitely will be sad, bloody sad in fact!

Nothing wrong with the bike, it's "me" who is getting past my use by date, is that sad or what? Well it is for me anyway!
