Longbarn Killer Posted February 11, 2021 Share Quite a number of years ago I bought a cheap indoor trainer from Makro for R299. With some rust and chrome peeling at some points, I sold it recently for R200 to a lady really keen to do some indoor training for Ironman. Within a few days I saw the lady advertising it on Facebook for R300. Now, that same trainer has popped up again on Facebook for R750. Maybe I did myself in.

MrJacques Posted February 11, 2021 Share I've had something similar happen to me when selling a bike. Some guys buy to resell. * To be fair the buyer / seller did repaint the bike so value was added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred van Vlaanderen Posted February 11, 2021 Share You could definitely make a living from buying and selling on the classifieds. I regularly see items posted that I consider to be below market value. If you have the time to regularly check the classifieds for good deals and then add to products where necessary, you’re in the money. Inflation is a relative term. Buying and selling is supply and demand. coppi and Sid the Sloth 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lechatnoir Posted February 11, 2021 Share I get where you're coming from, but you made the decision, you did the deal... it's done. don't second guess it and there's little to be gained from dwelling on it. but use the experience for next time for sure Pure Savage and Zebra 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave303e Posted February 11, 2021 Share lot's just wheel and deal. But it also comes with it's own grey hairs. If you have time and patience you can sell for more and buy for less. If not just accept a lesser deal and consider your man hours as savings. Pure Savage and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
