Not siding with anyone but here are my responses.
If you’re trying to refer to OG Wagon’s (Daniel) analogy of a supermarket buying bananas for 12c/lb and then trying to sell it for 65c/lb you are flawed. Why? Because the supermarket actually sources the bananas from a foreign/local supplier and they get it at that price because they buy in bulk. Keep in mind the costs of labour, transportation, rent, air conditioning, etc and then displaying it conveniently for you to just walk in and purchase it. All that stuff is added value and if you can’t see that, then well, you won’t get my point.
What costs do you really have and what value do you really add to the products that you apparently buy low from SON, and then sell it for more back to SON?
Gas money to go pick up the car, internet connection, and household rent maybe? But do your parents pay for your internet and rent? If so, the only costs you have is just gas and time for picking up the car.
But that’s on your part, what value can you say that you have added? a $12 car wash at Canadian Tire?
Anyways, I hope you get my point.
My s14 is worth more than what im asking in my opinion,
Yeah, everyone always thinks that their cars are worth a lot more in their opinion. It’s not really a good point.
I go above and beyond and it bites me in the ass. By doing what i do, it almost pushes vendors to push harder and provide a more personalized service.
From what I see, you’re just going above and beyond for your own self. Sure, if I had intentions of buying a car for 2k and then trying to make a quick 3k profit, hell I’d drive in the cold (welcome to Canada by the way) and bring cash (I guess some people use credit and debit when buying a used car from a private seller?!).
In the end, the issue is this. You bought a car for really cheap here then tried to sell it back HERE for 3k more and nothing of significant value was really added to it to justify the increased price.
Anyways, it’s just my opinion. If it’s not true, just PM me or respond to me here and I will make changes to what I said.
One thing I’d let to add is this. An honest seller never has to try and defend themselves, their reputation usually speaks for them.
