Yesterday I was doing some fall cleaning of my backyard/ flower garden and I began clearing out some of the foliage that my grandfather (he passed away a few years ago and we inherited his house) had let grow during his last years due to his health prohibiting him from doing anything that would raised his heart rate. While I was clearing foliage I literally stumbled upon this metal object sticking out of the ground. After digging it up I was able I identify it as a cast iron flower pot. I put it aside and looked around until I found it’s pair, which I also dug up and put with its pair.
I decided to put them both on facebook marketplace and listed it as 50$. I got a few messages of people offering me 50$. I basically had them place bids until I found someone who was willing to pay me 100$ which I was very excited about. I thought that it was wild that this person was willing to pay me 100$ for an old dirty iron flower pot.
I got home and decided to google the value of cast iron flower pots and the first image that came up were the EXACT flower pots that I had just sold. And they were selling for 2,500$...
My heart sank.
I feel absolutely and utterly stupid.
I guess I learned a lesson though. That being always check the value of an item before selling.
TL;DR I fucked up by not researching cast iron flower pots before I sold it. Next time I’ll be researching any item I have before I sell it.
