But, he was totally fine with it, given the profit from his old items. He didn’t mind covering the tip, either, and his friends were totally taken aback.
After seeing how shocked his friends were that he was covering such a lofty tab, he opted to fill them in on the situation. He detailed how he had cleaned out his old closet and began reselling the items. He also revealed how he anticipated earning a total profit of $2,000 once he finished selling all of the belongings.
Well, rather than being impressed by his new side hustle, his friends actually tore him down for it.
In fact, they all thought it was really messed up for him to sell the items for such high margins; meanwhile, other people in the community were in need. So, they basically claimed it was unfair to flip stuff rather than give it away to people who are less fortunate.
“They said I was a [jerk] and I should donate the legos and clothes to kids and people in need,” he vented.
“And I feel like I am in the wrong somewhat because other people do need it more than me.”
So, ever since his friends berated him, he’s been left wondering whether not giving his stuff away to people in need instead was really a jerky thing to do.
Do you think that all old items should be donated, or is flipping to make some extra money okay? How would you feel if you treated your friends to a nice dinner and they ragged on how you were able to afford the check? Did he do anything wrong in this situation?
