How many of you at one point or another have sold your personal items? I bet you’ve dealt with all sorts of different personalities because I know I did. I’m going to be honest,this was the first time I’ve ever sold anything and I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
Throughout this whole process, the one thing that stood out for me were the different types of people I dealt with. Every person I met, it felt like I was watching a movie trying to figure out each one of their characters. Here are the top 5 buyers who stood out.
1.) The Busy Mom
+ She doesn’t bother getting out of her car & waits for you to hand over the items she wants to buy.
+ You will find her juggling between talking to her kids, talking on the phone & talking to you.
+ You’re not really sure how to deal with this situation except take the money and say thanks.
+ She will have a story to tell about being late.
+ Despite being “busy” she is well-maintained.
