Today, I had to sell over $400 worth of china at a flea market. I barely got paid enough to refill my gas tank. FML

That's why you use Craigslist

... I'm so pumped about some kicks from the thrift shop... :-P

You didn't earn enough to fill a tank? I drive a Nissan terrano, called pathfinders in the US, and down here it costs me 140 American (160 New Zealand) to fill up. What the hell are you complaining about?

So... What your trying to say is you were payed a fortune. Because thatswhat it takes to refill a gas tank these days.

That was a stupid move. Nowadays it's foolish to just hand your crap over to someone else, unless of course it's something that only appeals to a very niche group of people. China is somewhat of a niche thing, but there are enough people interested that you probably could have gotten at least $200 on ebay or Craigslist. A while back I needed some money so I tried to sell some DVDs that I didn't want anymore. I put up a Craigslist ad but also checked a local pawn shop just to see what I'd get. They offered me $28 for the whole thing, which wasn't even close to what I wanted, so I just decided to wait. Just a couple days later someone bought them from me off of Craigslist. I got $125. If your item is anything that a decent amount of average people might want there's no reason to not sell it yourself. You'll always get way more.

Might be harsh, but I have to go with YDI for spending $400 on China in the first place. Why didn't you just go to a flea market? You could have gotten a set for a little more than what it costs to fill your tank...
