Bad Experience While Selling a Smartphone Online – Irritating Purchaser
One of the worst experiences that I had was while selling a smartphone online on a website which allows users to buy and sell smartphones.
I met this person (name undisclosed) who said that he will pay me Rs 5,000 for my old Samsung device, and it will be in 2 installments. The first installment will be immediate, and then another payment after using the smartphone for 5 days.
I agreed to him because this guy didn’t live very far. So I got very happy when I got Rs 2,500 immediately, and was promised by him that he will pay the remaining amount after 5 days. I agreed to him thinking that he is a college student and he wants this device.
After 5 days, I contacted him and requested him to make the pending payment. He avoided me for 15 days saying that he is busy with studies. Almost after a month, he returned the smartphone and asked me to return the cash as he has decided to purchase a new smartphone.
He told me that his parents has shouted on him that “Why he purchased an old device?“. He told me that his parents are now ready to give him more money for purchasing a new smartphone.
His words made me totally confused that what I should tell to him and I started thinking about the next step that I should take.

I wanted to shout at him, but as he seemed genuine I decided to give back the money he had paid to me. I thought to say that I won’t return the money as he had used my smartphone for 20 days, but then he might have cried or even said that he will bring his parents to talk to me. I just didn’t want to waste time explaining his parents the promise he made to me, and that’s why I immediately moved on from there after receiving my device.
This experience made me realize that one should always ask complete payment while selling any old gadget as many times people come up with a new decision.
Experience While Selling an Old Lenovo Smartphone
Another experience that I had while selling another smartphone was while trying to sell a Lenovo smartphone.
This time I was trying to sell an old Lenovo smartphone which I had used for a year. I made the decision to sell it immediately to get some more cash for Diwali shopping. I kept on going to different stores in a shopping mall where old mobile phones are purchased, but most rejected it just because I didn’t have the original box and the charger. Some were ready to purchase the Lenovo device, but they tried to fool me by offering a very low price.
I really didn’t like such excuses that they can’t purchase the device because original box is not there. In the end, I got frustrated and I had to sell the smartphone for Rs 1,000 lesser than the minimum price I expected to get for the device.
