Honouring the offer

Dan Cullum · Aug 27, 2020 ·

We’re moving house in a couple weeks, and I’m selling a few things on Marketplace to declutter.

One of those things is my Nintendo Switch. I bought it in 2017, and have barely played it in the past 2 years.

Within 3 hours of posting, I had 7 offers to buy it. I even had someone offer to drive to my house at midnight to pick it up.

I raised my eyebrows. I’d listed 4 other items, and I hadn’t received a single message for any of them.

I realised I’d asked for below average market price for the Switch.

I sat with multiple chat screens open, pondering the question: should I go back and edit the price, or should I honour the original offer?

I decided upon the latter. I felt honouring my original offer was 1) the right thing to do, and 2) a helpful lesson to make sure I do more thorough research next time.
