Even if I want to get rid of something for nothing, I’ll put it up for a fiver.
The number of fucking idiots that come out of the woodwork rises exponentially when you list it for free, proper unreasonable or a ludicrous false sense of entitlement.
I’ll wait until someone wants it, offers to pay, and tell them to keep it and put it in a charity box on their way home or some shit. Saves a lot of hassle.
Yeah for a week my sister had so many people grilling her about the condition of or asking her to deliver the couch she offered free. She relisted at 20 bucks, someone “talked her down” to a fiver and grabbed it that day
I gave a load of my stuff away for free just before emigrating about four years ago, and you wouldn’t believe how much palaver people will go through to organise picking up a couch. I’d be making time come hell or high water if I wanted something like that for free.
I just donate things to thrift stores. I can’t be bothered to sell anything. I did enough customer service jobs when I was younger to know that I have zero patience for customers.

Keep it
Bro I bought it
You misunderstand.
Keep the payment, take the goods.
What color is it
I just put stuff at the end of the driveway with a $20 sign on it.
Someone will come ‘steal’ it in under an hour.
I used to do this, too, until local charities started complaining about all the lamps being posted into their donation boxes.
Ah the ol Lemmy-roo
😂 I should have known…!
It was all in the post in front of you.
