I can't help but be discouraged. It becomes so frustrating when people back out on something without a single thought. I've had this happen at least 3 or more times each of the last few years. It's getting to a point where I expect it to happen. It wears on me. I often find myself asking at what point do I throw in the towel and just start looking out for me and what's best for me. The dollar can't buy back my self respect once I've sold it to the highest bidder.
I have to wonder if my real problem isn't that I'm too honest. I sell used construction equipment for a living. I'm self employed. When someone asks me what I'm going to do with the equipment, I can't lie. I tell them I buy and sell. That ends up killing a lot of deals because the person selling now knows the machine is worth more than they are asking but again, I'm not going to lie to make a dollar.
As for those days being long gone. They will be missed.
