My job is basically memorizing all the product and its' original listing price and set my own price to the customer to earn a profit out of it. And when there's no customer, I'll just play my pokemon emulator on my smartphone the whole day. I wouldn't say that I have been wasting time all day long. From this job, I've gained a little more experience on how business really works in our world.
To be honest, this may sound like we're the bad guys but believe it or not. Every business men/women are actually the bad guys whom in reality, improved our economical system. The term "high-baller" are mostly used in youth these days when they're trading/buying or selling their belongings. If they wanted to make a profit out of their second-handed merchandise, they'll try to sell it higher from it's original price and cover any origins on how they really got it in the first place. In other words, people who really want to gain a profit from their sales are basically called a "high-baller". But that's how these people survive. Their skill is actually the type that gains benefit from promoting the original object. That is something that I've always wanted to learn about it, and if getting called a "high-baller" is something that I've to live with, then so be it.
I don't give a damn about what other people thinks when I'm performing my skills. If they want to insult me on the price I've provided, then they might as well don't ask me in the first place.
Last week, some retarded stranger wanted to buy a card from my album. He asked for my price and I gave it to him straight, guess what he called me after that. A "high baller" yup, the same shit that everyone calls when your price of the product you're selling is way too high. You can't find the product, that's why I'm selling it high so that you can get it faster. The way I see it, you can either A: Buy my product without waiting so long with just a little extra top-up from the original price. or B: Get the hell out of my sight and keep on waiting for god knows how long the product will have stock again. It's pretty simple for customers to understand. This isn't a negotiation, this isn't a trade, this isn't me helping you to get what you desired the most, this isn't me begging you to buy my product. This is me telling you that my products are awesome, and if you think it's not awesome, then shut up and go away.
So back to topic, after this retarded bastard calls me a "high-baller" he just ran away and I just continue on chatting with my friend on how his cards can be sold (helping him to sell his cards). When I showed him some cards that has worthy value to gain profit out of it. This retarded asshole comes back again and asked the same shit on how much I had sell it. I am trying to be a professional at my talent so I kept my cool and just give him my price. Same shit happens again, I got called a "high-baller" by him again. He even asked his friends for the price which they all support him under his price because that's what friends are for, except they are his and I just tell him to stop calling me a "high-baller" if you already know that I am one. And that if he doesn't want to buy anything, then get out of my face. After cursing me that I'll never have any buyer ever again (I just sold a set of cards earning a profit of RM27 from the original price value right before blogging it here, so I guess your cursing sucks and didn't work asshole.)
So after that bastard left to mind his own business (which I doubt he has any.) I continue to help my friend in his clearance sale and told him that trigger points has a high value if sold at the right location ("trigger points" are like lucky draw tickets when opening a booster pack, it's hard to get them, but if by luck you do managed to open one. You can sell it on a high price on buyers who are desperate for it.) They're something like this:
I showed him my collection on the trigger points that I've gathered and told him where to go sell them. And that's when the retarded loser comes in again and asked the same shit on the price. Instead of giving him my price, I asked him how much he would offer. Scared like a crying loser, he decided to asked his friends on the price that way it won't seemed like it was his given price. And they all supported him by giving RM5 each... For what I've know, I've sold this ticket point for RM15 before and they try to deduct it into RM5.... wow, so that means they're basically called "low-ballers" since they can't even give the original price value for this ticket point. After calling a "high-baller" (again) and selfish (well you low-balled my into one). They just left and that's when I realized that any person who is trying to learn about business is basically a "high-baller".
It doesn't matter in what field you're in. Our country is just that poor and wouldn't live up to the reputation of our economic system. If you're the "high-baller" then they're the "low-ballers". That's literally the truth. And if you do meet them, try not to waste so much time on them and just pass them to other sellers and see what their feed backs are like.
So to all people who are interested in learning business in the future, here's a real advice on how business really works.
1. Don't waste so much time on "low-ballers"
2. You're already a "high-baller", get used to it"
3. If you really want to be helpful towards "low-ballers", passed them to other sellers and observe how their dealing works. You can gain experience in the process.
4. The power of facebook can help you A LOT in business, give it a shot.
5. NEVER EVER MAKE DEALS WITH DEALERS WHO FFK'S (fong fei kei). That means people who says they wanted to buy your product but by the end of the day, they just trolled you saying they don't want it anymore due to some stupid excuse. etc: no time to do bank deposit for the payment. And a lot more other excuses.
With all that, I hope the decisions you've made on choosing to do business is really worthwhile. Do not regret on the sales you've made. And with that, I bid you all farewell and appreciate it for taking your time to read this. Thank you.
