uneducated people

the problem with people like that is they already have a fixed price in their head, you come in at half that price and odds are they will turn you down and not want to do any business with you

I used to try to educate scrap sellers. I have since given up on that effort, its pointless. There are so many factors they dont take into consideration like overhead. Say they think green boards are worth $4 pound, you come in at $2 pound as you have to cover your overhead and have a reasonable profit. They say well other people are paying that. And to that i say im right here and i have cash in hand, where are the other buyers. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

You cant educate people that wont listen.

Yea I tried explaining overhead and all that. I think I did a good job at it. And i highly doubt she did any real reading on it. All she saw was computers and she thought money.

Note: I drove to her house while she wasnt there, everything was sittin in the carport. And discussed prices over the phone. I told her more then once my price was fair. Didnt even want the monitors. It is what it is. I had fun sort of. Lol
