My SO was out of town a few weekends ago, so I took the time to be Erin. I was selling one of my keyboards and a guy was supposed to come and pick it up on the Sunday between 1-3 in the afternoon. I waited in drab, and after several unanswered text messages, no show. As I wanted to do some weekly shopping and be out and about as Erin, I decided to do just that. So got all dressed up, jeans, top, infinity scarf, fleece jacket (it was cool out), makeup, wig, etc, etc. and off I went. (you no doubt know where this is going ;) ). Anyway, after shopping for about 20 minutes, my cell phone rings and it is the guy that wants to buy the keyboard, and he is at my house, asking if I could meet him now. Well, not wanting to miss out selling it, I decided that I would head back to meet him. I quickly told him that I couldn't meet him, but my partner was going to be home any minute and "she" could finish the deal. So, off I went...
Long story short, turns out he was a musician/piano teacher, and was with one of his students, a lovely retired woman about 65 years old, and her 30 year old daughter. Oh great ! Too late now, I am in the driveway. So, head up, shoulders back, "let's do this". So off I go to greet them. In the house, he tries out the keyboard, she agrees to buy it, and the daughter gives me the money. We all had a great chat. All told, about 10 minutes. No one, I mean none of them, batted an eye. I am pretty sure the daughter clocked me, but she was too classy to say anything. Deal done, off they go, and I go back out to do more chores/weekly shopping.
I am sure there was a good debate in their car on their way home, but that didn't bother me any. They were kind and respectful, and I sold a keyboard. Win, win.
Thought I would share a positive experience that I very much needed.
Have a great weekend ladies!
