I dug up my old game boy color with 3 Pokémon games. Saw some people selling their game boy colors for $25 on Facebook marketplace and posted my lot for $30. Someone immediately wants it and comes to pick it up. I find out he’s a reseller and goes to all the garage sales to buy old Nintendo and Pokémon stuff. I look up my stuff on eBay and find out my game boy color was selling for $27 on there and my 3 games were at least $30 altogether. A bunch of others were messaging me asking if my lot was still available until I removed the posting.
This is not normal and is very unhealthy. I don’t know what I’ve become. I felt ripped off that I could’ve easily sold my stuff for at least $40. I can’t stop thinking about it. This is sooooooo stupid! I’m a physician who will be making 6 figures soon and I’m so emotionally distressed about 10 frikken dollars. I’ve been trying to tell myself this doesn’t matter at all in long term and I’ve accidentally lost more money before (losing $10, overpaying for restaurants, sold stocks and had prices go up right after). Yet I couldn’t sleep at all tonight and my alarm goes off in 2 hours. I guess I took pride in getting good deals...
Sorry for this post being so dumb I needed to let this out somewhere so I can hold back from telling real life coworkers and embarrassing myself. God I feel like I’m some crazy freak.
