Why I sell


We all sell and buy for a variety of reasons. I thought I would post a
Letterman top ten reasons to sell. Not in any order.

I need the money for another project.

I'm going thru a divorce

We're having a new baby, I need more space.

Second system did not happen

The IRS is after me

My wife doesn't like it, says it has to go ( are you a wimp? )

I need the money cause I crashed my car

My mother died and I need to pay for a funeral

I need the money to send my kid to college

I am going to down size my system

Sell because you want to and buy because you want it.
That is why there are so many products, we all have different tastes.

hi mr man:

i admire your candor. i doubt it would be easy to sell a component if you told a buyer it did not sound good.

in fact, i bet most people sell because they do not like the sound of the component. it is somewhat obvious.

why sell a component, if you like it a l;ot ?
how many potential buyers would buy a product if the seller suggested that he disliked the product and thought it was inferior ?

i am suspicious when a seller alleges the product is the best in its class. there is a credibility problem , even if the seller has a rational reason to sell it.

it is probably a smart idea not to mention why a product is being sold, but rather to accurately describe it and offer it a fair price. a problem may occur when a buyer asks for a reason for the sale. perhaps, consider the adage:

"don't ask a question if you are afraid of or don't really want an answer".
