anger rant

so i sell things on ebay, and as a seller i know it’s a risk…you don’t always get what you want for the item you are selling…this should be common sense…

so i put a saxaphone on ebay for my mom…..it’s been in storage for at least 5 years….she put $500 into the sax for my brother and he ended up quiting band…she wanted at least $150 for it….the first time it sold, we got exactly that….but then the person who bought it didn’t pay for it…their account was deleted, because they bought a few items at the same time and paid for none of them….

so the second time, i just relisted it, didn’t change anything, had a start out bid of $50 and a buy it now for $150….so we got $87.77 this time around and she just bit my head off….

not to mention that when i get my overage check in like 2 weeks, i’m giving her almost $4000 to catch up on bills and her old debts….just giving her money that i have to pay back when i get out of school….and she is going to bite my head off over $60 that she didn’t get for a sax…..

i don’t want to go off on her…..i just don’t….but i should put her in her place…..my sister gives her jack when it comes to money and yet i’d give  her my last penny……and she yells at me….

oy, so a bit more calm now that it’s out…but grrr

Show her the blue book value on used instruments. She’ll probably wise up then. OD is a good place for rants.

a used sax which I’ve sold is only worth MORE when it’s from the 40’s from what I’ve encountered. Yours was worth about $100 at most. So you’ve done nothing wrong.
