For Sale


So we posted an ad on TEALIT (Teaching English and Living in Taiwan) and are beginning to sell all of our belongings in Taiwan. I am a bad salesmen, and a worse businessman. I am just always worried that I am ripping someone off, even when I know that I am not trying to.

Last week, a nice couple came by to look at the sofas. The man called back the same day and said "consider them sold." I considered them sold, until I didn't hear from him for a couple of days. I messaged him, and he said he was arranging for someone with a truck to pick them up. I still had not received any money from him. I was very conflicted over what to do if someone else wanted to buy them. Well, today, someone else came by and wanted to pay me for the sofas. As I was working out this deal, the man who originally wanted them calls to say he has arranged a time to pick them up. I told him that someone already payed me for him, and that I was really sorry, but I wasn't sure if he would actually get them or not.

I feel so guilty, and that is only 1 item sold. Tell me I didn't do anything wrong.

if he had give you money, even a small deposit, then you should have held them. but he didn't. so i think it's fine.
