It feels similar to that old guy with all the classic cars rotting in the back 40 who refuses to sell at any sane price. Not analogous, exactly, but it's the same feeling of frustration.
That's my uncle! He has an half dozen rusty cars with broken engine in his garden and refuses to sell for sane prices. He always complains the retirement money is not enough for a living, but can't get rid of that trash. My mom found someone wanting to buy one of those for 3000 euro, he said "but you can see listings for 50k for this car". Dude, 50k is for museum-grade collectible car, and a listing doesn't mean that will actually sell for that price.
So we dread for the day he dies as we will need to pay someone to dispose all that trash
Jesus. It's like 12 year olds trying to sell old Nerf guns on Ebay for $300.
No low ballers I know what I got
