Isnt guilt one of the worst feelings?
Yesterday a bloke from Devon said he would have my Veedub Camper off me but said he couldnt make it up to me til 1 week on saturday, he was pleading with me to keep it for him. Tonight someone came round, saw it, offered me an extra £100 and gave me a deposit so I sold it.
I've just sent an email to the bloke in Devon saying im sorry but I had to let it go. Now guilt is eating me from the inside, I should be happy I sold it but I still feel bad

Guilt? You should have contacted the guy from Devon, and said someone's offered more money, and ask him if he could increase his offer or you'll have to let it go......play the two off against each other, but never mention any numbers, see how high they'll go, THEN give it to the highest bidder! 
Guilt gets you less money, it's bad, mmmkay?

I know what your saying, i've never been good at sales. Conscience is greater moral for me.

Shit happens. If he really wanted it, he'd have sent you a deposit, or made the trip down. End of the day you could have told the other bloke no, expecting him to come, and then he phones you doesnt turn up and you'd lost out then!

Thats why I teach web design rather than make web pages, because when people ask me how much they cost I say a fiver. Not going to make much money that way.

No remorse when it comes to charging £12.50 though
