That’s so true. I gave to charity, then, they must have sold my name to other charities because I get solicitations from places I’ve never donated to, and, some of them have the nerve to send me solicitations as if I owe them something…Those go in the garbage as do the one’s l never donated to!

Every time!!

That is why I only did a garage sale once. You sell things cheap to get rid of the stuff and people STILL want to pay less than what you’re asking. 🙄

I found out years ago that a garage sale was just not worth the risk for me. I had my pet cat stolen after a garage sale as everyone who met him fell in love with him= a long haired, orange Persian who never met a stranger. I never had another garage sale again.

She's not a regular woman though, PP can take care of herself.

Wow. Some people

True, everybody wants your money! It's difficult, but I say just NO. And for a handyman I want to know their prices in advance

I always get a price in advance, but during the pandemic I was taken advantage of by a plumber on my sewer line. It was very hard to get anyone out at the start of the pandemic. Have a wonderful day. @@marritjansen3542

Yessss I wish I could tell my younger self this 😆

Absolutely 💯

Thank you, Pp... I was seriously thinking about taking out a "small loan". Well I really know it's a lousy idea and you helped me slow down and do the right thing. Yeah, March and April will be tough financial months, but I can make it through and learn my lesson.

if someone is hard up they will take something they don't desperately need and sell it then do the wrong things as they did before hence why they're hard up.

I can teach someone to make money like fishing..but some people dont want to learn cos thy dont want to work..they want free, th3y want easy and they want to invest nothing but get everything...some people will work their asses off for minimum wage when they don't have to but not having to means working for nothing for months to learn a new way even if being taught for no cost..I can ,etc someone shadow me to learn to make money, watch you to learn to save money and get value...but nope..they want free money and vicarious success....isn't making your own money and saving most of it worth one year of your 40 year work life?....why is it beyond them to think like that?...be ab.e to fish, or make money with no boss, to learn to use washing fluid this been watered down to get three for the price of one....why do they have to consume anx work with no thought ahead but bitter about getting nowhere, it beggers belief.

I was thinking the same thing. But then I remembered how smart she is. She probably has the whole place prepped with cameras 📷 And hopefully has pepper spray! ❤

A lot more.

​@kysmik8214 much more, and she knows how to use them. Any shit for brains idiot would be a volunteer for "make my day". 😎

A public parking lot where people can see everything is best.

That’s exactly what I was thinking! Or he’s told people about your “stash” of e-bikes and others show up whether or not you’re home. I hate trying to sell something from my home base.

I had to take one years ago and was grateful for it being available to me, even though the interest was pretty steep. I paid mine off well before it was due and never regretted taking it. If you're sensible you will never get screwed on those loans, just have to use the head.

@theclumsyprepper I do see how certain people could use them in an emergency, but I can't tell you how many people I saw who got trapped into a cycle of using them. It broke my heart.

I'm a retired vet, and would NEVER ask a small business for a military discount. If I need a discount on a treat, I don't need the treat! Whether it's a bar of soap, or a chocolate dipped strawberry! Small businesses are the backbone of our communities. (at the risk of being snarky, she was probably what we would call a "Dependapotamus..." Wearing her husband's rank as if it were her own)

Nobody's taking advantage because they ask for a lower price. They're just making the best buying decision they can and if the answer is no it's no. Don't you haggle when you go to buy a car or a home? It's the same thing.

I would have loved a free flower and probably brought you a homemade latte

I was selling a Christmas sweater for $8.00. I stupidly waited 40 minutes for her to show up. Only wanted to give me $5.O0 + was going to resell it. She was so surprised when I said NO.

That is hilarious about going to comedy club and tell him to tell his jokes to someone inside 😂

They will also push over and fight other babies, steal their stuff.

Fairness my behind. That has to be taught.

Totally disagree! One of the first words toddlers learn well is MINE. Lol

Dress from Ali Expess 20 bucks alteration costs 350.

Absolutely, I would rather give something to someone who appreciates it than sell an item to someone who wants to nickel and dime me.

I think the perceived rip off was more about him trying to buy the 2000 dollar bike and playing it off like it's worth less than half.

yeah but she was willing to part with it for 900 bucks!@@NotAffiliated

Also, she gets them for free.

Sadly, in my 56 years of experience, that is not true.

@anniesshenanigans3815: I have another 7 letter word I call them, however I cannot type it here. I will use shyster instead 😂

I might end up doing that

another thing: If you make them drive for nothing (because it irks you that they _dare_ ask for a lower price) and it is a mentally unstable person ... I would not do that. The friendly and firm: "No this is my price, I will not go lower" is also safer for you. There is no emotional entanglement. if they blow up on you over that (on the phone) just end the call.

I have seen "poor" panhandlers give back canned food - they just want the cash!

Me too! How does this happen? lol. I only interact with people now if I have to.

I just finished typing this. I get what she is saying but as a reseller who has an ecommerce store I had to call her out despite loving her content. She is a reseller calling out another reseller for trying to make a profit when she is selling items she gets for free. Bartering & reselling isn't bad and both parties have the right to say no

Probably part of the way they became well off!

Same - I like dogs better than people.🐶

Need to be firm with this. If you sell beef quarters many will mistake you for a bank. They have the beef quarter from the locker and in their freezer. Then how you going to get your money? This is a VERY common happening with producers here in the Midwest. Can’t tell you how many people we talk to that have been taken.

Constant harassment to buy our house the last couple of years!!! Flyers , phone calls, texts .. Ohio

We think there must be seminars all over the states where they tell people to do that. My mom is constantly getting asked if she is selling. Why do people do that?

@@beckypetersen2680 They do that hoping they find a desperate fool who will give it away for pennies. If they find hard up people, they got a chance to swindle them .

Sometimes, but I also think addiction is an excuse. One of the worst alcoholics I know has never stolen a thing in his life. In my opinion you’re either a thief or you’re not, addiction just bring out what’s already there.

You're exactly right. The ones who want things for little or nothing are the first ones to find something that they think is wrong and then complaine. I learned to never bartar and to never undercut anyone elses prices. I set prices to either the middle ot the top of the going rate. I've also noticed that if something isn't selling I need to bump the price up on it some. People can be so strange. Nothing that I sell is a necessity for life. I figure if they can't afford the price that I'm asking that's their problem. I want a lot of things. If I can't afford something I don't buy it.

At this point I have no circle ...I understand

Oh yes!! Local animal shelters are Best. National ones have high CEO salaries. Please do your research First!

The angels are keeping track of the public service Prepper Princess does. She has lots of stars by her name!🤩
