Selling Used with an Invoice

[Jiehfeng]

I need some advice. Say you purchase something and get a bill for it, it includes important information such as warranty.

Now say that product you have has gone up in value, and you want to sell it. You would like to provide the invoice as it is necessary to make use of the remaining warranty, do you provide it, given that the original price is listed on the invoice?

Since it's right there, I feel negotiating would be a bit awkward, so I'd like some advice on this.

I mean they can Google RRP regardless of an invoice. If it's gone up in value it means they can't get it at RRP now, it shouldn't have any kind of impact on negotiations because you got one and they didn't.

I have met very weird buyers, so I take it I should just say no if they come up with such a point that 'you paid this much so...'? Thanks that helps.

You could also just advertise it as "invoice included" and specify details of the purchase date, without actually showing a picture of the invoice. Either way though, if it's worth more it's worth more. Fussy buyers aren't worth the stress lol

Some places may try to wriggle out of a warranty if it is resold, even if law says no (what are you going to do pay a lawyer more than the thing is worth?).

That said there will always be chancers and weirdos, and those wanting something for nothing. "Deal with it" is a bit pithy perhaps but salient advice never the less.

Also somewhat relevant

The response to use here is "take it or leave it".
Or maybe "inflation"
Some things appreciate in price over time. The most valuable stamp in the world, valued at 8 million dollars, is a 1 cent stamp
And what if you won the item in a raffle or something? And you didn't pay a thing?
Anyway, the invoice is only there as part of the warranty documentation, you can charge as much as you expect to get.
Remember, "take it or leave it."
