Knife
I listed my projector on eBay again with a slightly lower reserve and this time I got an email from somebody who wanted to buy it, but wanted to do so in person so he could actually see what I was selling wasn’t just a hunk of junk. Despite my reservations over inviting somebody into the flat (I’m naturally suspicious) we arranged to meet this afternoon and complete the transaction. Which we did. So my projector has now been sold.
I don’t think I’ll be in a rush to do the “in person” thing again. It wasn’t a pleasant experience, even if it did end in me receiving a large pile of cash. I just don’t feel comfortable inviting a complete stranger into my home, you don’t know what they’re going to be like or what they’re going to do, whether or not you’re going to be finishing off the day with half your stuff stolen or not. He could have done anything to me and Andrea and nobody would have known.
No, next time I’ll stick to online. You can’t knife somebody via email.
