Do you sell equiptment for less than what its worth?

When you sell stuff, the trick is finding a balance. What is it worth? Would you buy it for the price you are suggesting? For me, I like to be generous and take a loss. Ive met a lot of really generous people in this hobby and I respect them for that. It shows that you care more about the hobby and the people participating in it than you do about a few dollars in your pocket. I think that's cool.

Being generous if often a reciprocal process. you reap some more subtle benefits from it as well. that's karma.

Ahh yes Karma, the most evil Mistress of ALL.

it really depends on the item. Some items I have too many so I sell them (or even give them away) to clear out room in the house. Some items I don't really want to get rid of so I squeeze out every penny I can.

Then there are some items that I just won't sell because I won't get nowhere near what I paid for them. Like my 120g tank sitting empty at my previous room mate's. Nobody's been wanting to pay what it's worth so it's just been sitting around but I'm not letting it go for like 200 bucks steel stand included.

And my CO2 canister. I don't know why but I like just having it just in case I need it.

And pumps. I've never sold a pump because I can never have enough kicking around, they're like buckets
