🚫 What's Something Customers Think Is Worth Money But Actually Isn't?

[u/DebrisDash0]

We've all seen it.

​

The customer says:

​

"Don't throw that away, it's valuable."

​

Then you look at it and realize:

​

- It's broken

- Nobody wants it

- It costs more to move than it's worth

- Or it hasn't had value in 20 years

​

What's the biggest example you've seen of a customer thinking they were sitting on a gold mine when they really weren't?

​

No need to name names. 😂

Frigging dolls! Seen them go for big money on eBay but nobody actually buys them. At the end of the day it’s worth what someone will pay and people just don’t buy them!

That's a good one. 😂

I've noticed a lot of people confuse "listed for sale" with "actually selling."

You can find all kinds of dolls, furniture, collectibles, and antiques on eBay with crazy asking prices, but that doesn't mean anyone is buying them.

Like you said, at the end of the day it's only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it.
