That buyer's (kinda) remorse

Cardsagain74 - These sentiments you recited below ring so true.

Every decision in life has a shi# to equity ratio. The person I got that saying from was an old sales manager of mine who committed suicide.

But......

It's not that bad. You then picture the clearly mountainous effort of actually bring up the ebay return fun, repackaging, and (god forbid) going to the post office in the cold rain. Was this really a big enough $ order to bother?

Cause, hey, you still needed the stuff for this or that, and you can likely live with it. But then you remember that if you accept something even somewhat subpar too often, the value you lose will still start to add up. Rationalization lingers.

The curse of being a collector in the net era. How do we bear it....

Thanks. It's nice to have your eloquence appreciated

And I agree with his sentiments too. Unfortunately those of us who are too aware of the realistic implications of the odds/upside-to-downside ratio of our decisions are often the ones who rarely stop thinking long enough to enjoy the simple things in life.

It's something I know all too well sometimes, and I fear that may have been part of the fate of your manager in the end.
