I love bargains too when I'm buying. I don't mind letting go when it's something I don't like, but if it's a cute vintage dress or fabulous old fabric or camera equipment, I'd prefer to keep it for myself than give it away. So, I ended up with some dresses and fabric from this sale, but missed out on the equipment. It makes total sense. I love bargains too when I’m buying.

A thought on pricing though... when you say you know something went for less than it's worth, I think it should go for less than it's worth, because you're probably not selling to the end buyer, you're selling to the dealer with the knowledge to deliver it to the end buyer. Dealers (my mom!) buy from estate sales and need to make their markup. You're probably not getting the collectors there. Does that make sense? congrats!
