What's Worse; Seller's Regret or Buyer's Remorse

[Bill]

I'm gonna guess the blag dahlia prank on sub pop? What jangly band? The Spinnaines?

Sugarfix with Sebadoh screened over it. It was awesome. Still kicking myself.

Either way - I honor my sale/purchase.

I have sold things at auction or otherwise and thought - wow, I should have asked for more. And I delivered the items as described anyway.
I have bought itmes on auction or in person and thought -Wow, that was impulsive/dumb. But I make my paymet promptly and suck it up. (of course if the purchase is from a big box store, i can take it back before opening /using)

We all make bad purchase/sale decisions but they are NOT as bad a decision as reneging on your promise.

Integrity matters.

-as stated above, if an auction listing with no bids or bid (early on) are withdrawn before the end it is not terrible.

Oh yeah. I can still remember a rare shirt I missed out on a few years back. Thought I had it nailed down with $66, and wouldn't ya know it, sold for $66.50.
An old band t-shirt from the early nineties where the band had played a pretty vicious prank on the record label, so in retribution the record company rescreened their remaining shirts with a really jangly band's graphics. Something that just doesn't ever come up, and unless you were there at the time wouldn't even know what it was. Damn...

I've done both.

Buyers regret can be made up with one good score in another deal. No worries there.

Sellers regret can leave you without an item you might not see again for years! this sucks!

[Zemo]

I think most peeps are getting mixed up. Sellers regret, didn't get what they thought it was worth, says it lost, etc. Buyers regret, was stupid and bid to much, won't pay. Disappears. In the Op's post he, as a seller, puled the auction before any bids were placed. What's the harm?

[Bill]

I hate NONbuyers remorse. I am learning to not over think things and just buy why I want. Like Scott said, I can always resell it.

Seller's regret lasts longer than buyer's remorse. With buyer's remorse you're like "why did I buy that?" Then after you sit and think things through,you start to realize you didn't do so bad. With seller's regret,you sit for the longest time wondering why you sold something. Even if you can convince yourself you did the right thing,you'll always have that nagging feeling deep down inside you did the wrong thing.

Oh, don't get me started on Non-Buyers remorse. DON'T GET ME STARTED!!!

Had a bunch of stuff(videos that I had shot, old photos, and radio airchecks on cassette) and a few old toys that I had in a rented storage locker when I moved out of Port Orchard, WA. a couple of years ago. I started to fall behind on the rent for the storage space. I had planned on getting into the locker to get the videos, photos, and airchecks out and let the other stuff go, but the owners of the storage place had disposed of everything and rented the locker to someone else. Should've kept the stuff that couldn't be replaced at my aunt's. Guess some of us have to learn the hard way. I recently bought a wireless router from someone on Amazon, but found out that it's not compatible with my modem. That's 30 bucks I more than likely won't see again. There's my renters' regret and buyers' remorse. Haven't really been through the sellers' regret(knock on wood).

I've never really experienced seller's regret. I liquidated most of my toys just because they were cramping my lifestyle and had to go......when you buy something you don't need and can't sell it or return it....that's frustrating....

[alex]

Thats why I never sell anything, Id rather be on bread and water than see something prized go. I can only think of a couple of incidents when I had buyers remorse simply over paying, thats why I never jump on anything, theres always going to be another.

I hate having sellers remorse. There are a few things that I have sold that I wish I didn't now (Tomlands, Dungeons and Dragons figures to name a few.) I know that the items are gone and the odds of me getting some of them back are slim. At least with buyers remorse I can still turn around and get rid of the item if I really don't want it.

[Bill]

I've forgotten over-paying, but I can remember the things that I shouldn't have sold.

[Splitty]

I've never bought something that I regret in any way, that I can think of.
Of course, I'm always really tight on money, so usually I just buy if it's good deals or is always expensive, so I don't think I've overspent on anything. And the few things I did spend alot of money on are still worth that.

But sellers remorse? Oh heck yeah. When I really needed money (for food!) I've sold things I really regret. A 12" Henshin Cyborg, and 12" RAH Kamen Rider?! Nooooo! The ENTIRE set of McFarlane Where the Wild Things are. NOoooo! Mego C.H.I.P.s Ponch and John in great condition AND their bikes?! Good grief.
I've never gotten any of those back yet. And that's off the top of my head.

'Sold' things I really liked still physically pains me years after.

Of course, I didn't starve to death, so I'm still around to regret them, so there's that.
