When you see the book you underpriced immediately flipped 2 2

[jcjames]

When you see the hot book that you accidentally underpriced and that was immediately snatched off Feebay, then the same day the buyer receives the book it's relisted, and you know you blew it.

You must have made sufficient profit off of it to have sold it in the first place, so why be upset? There are tons of things that one could do better in their life everyday. You have to roll with it.

Yeah but I goofed on the BIN price and he got a great deal on it. But... like you said I did make profit on it.

And the little flipper didn't even have the courtesy of giving me a positive feedback. Hmph!

You made profit. That's what you focus on. I think you are not alone including myself. I sold stuff at a bargain because of my own stupidity because of my grading inexperience. I learnt from it.

Also, I never expect feedback anymore. Probably if they don't, it's better that way.

I cant remember the exact quote, but I attribute it to @FlyingDonut - to paraphrase, "Never be ashamed of selling at a profit."

By how much was the book underpriced? Did you mean to price it higher when first listed, or did the book heat up and you hadn't gotten around to changing the price?

At least you weren't asked to drop ship it.

At least double, probably more. I knew it was hot and put it up for 3-day auction, but for some dumb reason set the BIN way too low. I didn't realize it until about 2 minutes later, as I tried to revise, it was bought. Oh well.

I remember I did the same with a Conan #1 a few years ago, I made a good amount on it, but the guy who flipped it sold it in about a week for double.

*it happens, but it still tastes like *it when it happens.

After being told it was for the buyer's personal collection.

After-a-while you get immune to it. Want to really blow your mind, start thinking about books you had 20+ years ago that you sold. I remember having a nice VG Action Comics 13, and well....

It's part of the business.

15 years later and this is still the stuff of legend. I wonder if any of us had the foresight or “vision”.

Years ago, someone bought a book from tupenny's selling thread.  Paid for it.  Then asked tupenny to drop ship it to the person the buyer just sold it to.

Pretty sure it was drop ship it to C-Link.
