Selling rubbers and Loss Aversion

[TensorBackhand]

In psychology, its more painful for humans to lose something than gain something of equal value. They wouldnt pay $5 for a cup, but if they owned the cup, they wouldnt be willing to part with it for $5.

I'm experiencing the same with my favorite rubbers. I'm using boosted big dipper on my bh now, and its a monster. Its so fast, so powerful, so spinny, so grippy, good control on short game. My shots feel like shotgun. It grips the ball so well for loops and over the table flicks. A guy offered to buy it from me because he likes it too, but im feeling loss aversion. I feel like im giving away dignics 09c.

But the rationale part of me says to just sell it and use my other backlog of rubbers.

Anybody else have loss aversion?

Everyone does but you are looking at this wrong. Why tell your friend you will make a rubber likes yours for a small fee.

No, I am struggling to sell any of my stuff...including unopened new rubbers.

And this post's attachment leaves some suffering to my abdominal muscles due to excessive laughing while facing on phone's screen

But hey, my belly button can spark some force lightning, though

My problem is not my attachment to rubber and other TT-paraphernalia, my problem is the lack of buyers. It will have to be a good bon-fire when i give up TT

Yes, most times I'm facing this condition too.

If a spare sheet of big dipper is still available, you have time to boost it to your liking, perhaps just sell it for the sake of good relationship/friendship is a good idea.
