I never understood why people sell things like that. Why not give them to people in need. It might be $9, but to someone who needs it, could be life changing. Maybe they will make a delicious milkshake, who knows.
Donating shit online marketplaces is just plain shit.
You get either people flipping it for profit, or some assholes asking to deliver the item to other side of the continent for free.
Either donate to some red cross pawnshop or similar, or sell for lowish price to get rid of it quickly - price that makes no sense for someone to try flip it
Obviously if you know someone who needs it, the sure go ahead and just give it to them
I’ve too have tried giving stuff away for free and I always the worst experience, unappreciative people who want to manipulate any way they can, or no show etc.
But when I post it for a low price it completely removes that group and suddenly I get nice people who have wanting this thing for so long but struggled to afford it and they will go out of their way to meet up. Usually I just giving it to them free after they’ve been so easy to work with and their mind gets blown. They show initiative, they work hard for what they want and get rewarded for it. This is the way.
I’ve started doing that too. List something for a low price to weed out the entitled freelisters, then give it free to whoever shows up without being a pain in my ass.
Unfortunately it doesn’t weed out the scammers or the folks who just ghost after saying “is this still available?”
