Missed them by THAT Much...

A CL ad appeared today. "Speakers $50.00" Pulled up the ad, and it was for a pair of Rogers 3/5a, and a pair of Vandersteen 2. Yes, it was $50.00 for BOTH pairs. I was the second caller, and the 1st caller was picking them up so the seller did not call back for 1 hr.
BLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

If it's any consolation, somewhere in the world, at least one deal like that is probably going down every single minute of every single day.

He flipped the Vandersteens for $400, and the Rogers for $3550.00.
I think I would have a certain amount of guilt in making that much profit, especially if the seller was selling the speakers do to hard times financially.

Those little Rogers go for that much???

I wonder how much guilt the buyers for any business have when they make a large profit. Everyone has to put food on the table just like you and me and because a buyer is paid to make a profit for the company that makes it different ? There are ways to research what your stuff is worth before you put a price on it a sell it off, it's up to the company/person selling a product to do that not the buyer.

Yea for the "flipper" doing his/her homework and doing well this time, could be retired, broke and relies on these finds themselves to make it. I could use a landfall like that every once in a while, got to live and times are really tough right now.

Sorry, rant over
