I do this quite often. 95% of my stuff was purchased new. Sometimes, I buy something, and don't like it after it arrives. It didn't meet up to my expectations, or it fails to fit in to my most current scheme. Or maybe I just want to make room for something newer. Anyway, I check the current market for similar items for sale, and always price mine lower to help insure a sale. Even this sometimes doesn't result in a sale, and I end up keeping the item.
Unfortunately, it seems the items I have for sale don't command high prices, and if I do sell them, it's always at a loss.
But, that said, I enjoyed the original hunt for the piece, enjoyed buying it, owning it (for a time), and had some enjoyment in the anticipation of possibly selling it.
I know this won't make sense to many of the members reading and posting here, but, it satisfies me, and that's my story.
