First and foremost, it is fallacious thinking upon your part to mention that I have opened a pandora box. I only called the attention of the people to an observation that I had made.
I can perceive how crippling it could be for some people finacially to survive here given the cost of the new items that they have to purchase upon their arrival in Qatar. I know some people have pays too meagre to make ends meet.
Being a web-designer and a frequent buyer of laptops I have a pretty good notion of what laptops normally cost. I was never talking of someone who bought an HP laptop for 6000 selling it for 2500 now. I was referring to a situation in which a 2500 new one would be offered at 2600 even though it be used.
I am never saying expats leaving should really through their items away. Heavens portend I should be author to someone's unjustified loss. However, most of the buyers, as you mentioned too, are well-aware of the price, they would not even think of negotiating with a person who is selling a used item for a price which is more than the price for a new similar item. In this sense, it is just waste of money. Now, there is this guy who is selling Nissan 2007 for 28,500 and he has been spamming the page like hell. I wonder what is the point of posting such a post a hundred times?
And I agree with you absolutely. It is better to dispose it with a nominal price (bringing benefit to both buyer and seller) rather than waste it (loss for both). But what I am talking of the kind of postings in which the sellers are posting higher prices which is totally unacceptable. I am again on your side, I would want to protect any new comer from buying things more expensive then they should be bought.
