[Story Telling] A Gadget / Electronics (전자 제품)

[Story Tellling]

I bought my wife a gadget named WACOM which is normally used by drawers. It is famous for its convenience for drawing.

But, when I tried it out (tested it) at shop before purchasing it, it was inconvenent and the pencil was not enough sensitive to me. Neverthless, my wife would like to own (possess) it badly. So, I decided to buy it to her.

Unsurprisingly (just as expected, sure enough), she raley (seldom) used it. So, we decided to sell it before it's too late (sooner rather than later.)

 

She posted the item on a used (second-hand) trading market named raddit market.

As soon as she posted it, a man contacted her that he was willing to (intended to / was inclined to) buy it.

And he wanted to lessen (bargan) the price.

But she said that it's almost the same as the new item and it's been 3 weeks from buying it.

We didn't make room for haggling (negotiation). Finally, he accepted the fixed price. And the deal was made.

 

After we received money, she decided to purchase new iPad which size is bigger than mine.

When I looked at the new one that she bought, it was more efficient than my old one due to the bigger size.

Finally, she was willing to give the new one to me. And we swapped.

 

Oh! Something pop up just now about a gadget. (came up to mine)

My wife is using apple watch. And it could measure what she excercised. Looks like it's workng well.

She used the stairs to get home after work from 3rd basement.
