Adventures in Debt

Yes! I managed to sell my unused window air conditioner this evening. A few weeks ago I attended a building tenant meeting and met a woman who lives a few floors above me. We started talking about our apartments, and she mentioned that she was frustrated that her current air conditioner no longer fit in her window (the building management is in the process of replacing all the windows, and her air conditioner was too big.) I jokingly mentioned that I had an air conditioner I wasn’t using, and she asked if I’d be willing to sell it. I was surprised, as I hadn’t actually thought about it, but after a few moments thought, I agreed. I wouldn’t be using it anyways, and it would free up space as well as earn me some money.

I asked for $75, more than I actually wanted for it.

She offered $65 instead.

I agreed.

She came by to pick it up tonight, and I am $65 richer. She’ll be more comfortable, and I’ll be $65 less in debt. I know it’s not a huge amount, but it’s definitely a good snowflake to have found!
