This is something that I have literally not heard in 10 years or more. I thought it was the funniest thing…. This may be a nerd thing? 🙂
I was selling a Dell Optiplex SFF which is a “nice computer for the money”…. People have asked a tons of questions. But honestly when you are selling a working computer for $20 people expect way to much! I can not think of anything I even want for $20! JK I am hungry! 🙂 You get the idea though.
Customer: “Can I come to your house to make sure it works?”
Me: “NO NOT FOR $20!” What I really said…. “No we can meet somewhere.” I do not want to drive anywhere…. But I do not want anyone who wants a $20 computer to know where I live! LOL 🙂
This guy said and I am quoting “If you’ve got an XP 32 bit. I want it.” He might be the last person on Earth that wants a XP 32 bit computer! 🙂
Honestly…. I have run into really bad hardware and software that has to run on Windows XP. I just never thought of it as a niche market! I would raise my price but I can not even sell them for $20. LOL 🙂
