Why do people think they can recoup 80-100% of what they paid for an item when they sell it used? And what do you all think is an appropriate discount from the new price?
Recent examples: In the last week, I was looking for used bunk beds and used kettlebells.
I found a used bunk bed for $2000 - it’s on sale new for $2049.
I found a set of used kettlebells for $35. Currently selling new for $32.
What age were your kids at when you felt like you could dive into a book or start a new hobby/project again and actually be left to your deep flow state long enough to get something out of it?
For example, I noticed I stopped reading. So often the interruptions are just so bad that I end up reading the same page a bunch of times that it just became too frustrating.
Similar with diving into new hobbies or projects. I want to do some DIY work around the house, but I can’t imagine having the cognitive capacity to learn as I go not to mention the literal time to do it.
At what age did you feel freed up for stuff like that again?
