I was introduced to Carousell in the most effective and best of ways since evolution, “everyone had it”. Since it passed Tier 1 and Tier 2 of my intellectual screening, I started using my husbands account. He was quite inactive anyways, and I am pretty convinced the only way to save humanity is by the reduce, reuse and recycle mindset. Thus began a joyful journey of learning.
I was quite unsure which item to start with. After much thought I placed my daughter’s Frozen dress and accessories as my project kick off item. She had worn it hardly once, item was in extremely good condition (soo good in fact it looked brand new) and to top it all, she outgrew it. I forgot how much I brought it for but I placed it for 35 dollars. In my dreams I did not think anyone wanted it. But a buyer came and asked if I was willing to let go at 20. I was, as soon as I got over my surprise.
I met my first customer near the train station next to my house. She was old, must be in her late sixties (I was surprised to know she used this site) and we completed our deal. She looked at the item and said, “its for my granddaughter. She has asked for this as her birthday gift, she will be very excited and happy” At that moment, I did not know what to do should I return the money or should I leave her and walk away. I did not hurt her ego, and walk away is what I did.
Happy birthday girl, hope you liked your dress. I wanted to see how many stories and insights I will make out of selling the items we no longer used. I opened a box and placed my first 20 inside. Hopefully you will get more companions soon.
