[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I Think OP overvalued the treadmill, which is why she couldn’t get anyone to buy it for months.

It is also not easy to move. You can’t just throw it in the back of your car. The person probably backed out because it was a pain to coordinate a move.

There are always new models coming out. Literally every single gym on earth will have a treadmill. You can run outside for free. It is not the hot commodity that OP thinks it is. I feel sorry for OP she is this upset about not selling her treadmill and how petty she is that she would rather leave it than give it to her friend.[/quote]

As OP explained the air quality in this city is so bad that people actually cannot run outside for free. And it's not like OP was asking top dollar for the treadmill. She was selling a 1-year-old treadmill for 50% of what she paid, and once the original buyer backed out, she probably would have accepted far less. But the friend wanted it for FREE. And you think OP is petty? No. You are not entitled to get your friend's expensive items for free just because your friend is in a bind with a move. Who thinks like that? Not anyone I'd want to be friends with, I'll tell you that.[/quote]

I once had a friend who had two boys. They had some expensive toys. I think they had some pac man and other arcade type game that they spent $1000+ on. Why did they spend that much? Who knows? They were moving and wanted to sell these arcade games but it was a pain with people no showing and trying to offer them $50. Another friend had kids similar in age. She always expressed interest in the games but not to buy. At the end, the friend got the arcades for free. We are all still friends and went on vacation together recently.

OP should have dropped the price. She didn’t drop it low enough. She didn’t have to say yes to the friend. I’m Team B. [/quote]

Whether OP should have dropped the price or not is irrelevant to Friend B's behavior. Friend B was pushy and rude about the whole thing, continually ignored OP telling her that she wanted to sell the treadmill and could not give it away for free. Even if OP delusionally thought she could make a profit on the treadmill, I don't think Friend B's behavior is that of a real friend. Friend B was not owed the treadmill and once OP told her she wanted to sell it and not give it away, should have backed all the way off and not mentioned it again. The end.

People are allowed to do whatever they want with THEIR possessions and OP didn't owe it to her friend to try and sell the treadmill for less or to give it to her friend for free. OP might have been irresponsible with the treadmill but the only person those actions impacted was OP so she is entitled to that. Meanwhile Friend B's behavior was unkind and greedy and impacted OP directly. Very much NOT Team B.[/quote]
