That hurts! Personally, I have lost a lot of money selling things quickly, or if I'm not feeling that great. I remember selling something on craigslist, and while walking through my carport, the buyer asked me what I wanted for the '63 karmen ghia. I was tired--I didn't like the dude--and just wanted to finish the deal. I told him I need to think about it, but I would take $200. I walked upstairs and said WTF is wrong with me? I had to block the dude from emailing me. As someone who buys stuff, I've noticed young people sometimes vastly undervalue their stuff, while a lot of older people overvalue.
