I swear, every time I try to do the right thing and get rid of furniture instead of rent a dumpster I regret it. I offer things free to $30. I will give brief descriptions and measurements. But I won’t answer 20 questions you text me one at a time. Hey, come take a look at it if you want! It is do not worth it. And then there is the time someone threatened me because I gave a non working free tractor to someone who got back to me. As soon as a normal person inquired about something I beg them to take it. Gah!

OMG! The latest. “Can you deliver it to x” 50 miles away. And can you send more pictures. After I said I would give it for free instead of a whopping $20 for a dresser/changing table.

OMG, yes! When I lived in the city I would put ANYTHING out with a free sign and it would be gone in an hour. Heck, I had to put signs on stuffif I was moving, “moving, not up for grabs.” But sadly I am in a dead end street in a semi-rural area now. I would donate, but they are picky. Dumpster in driveway now for other stuff. I’m giving myself until 3 pm tomorrow then dumpster. Originally Posted by niccig

I wonder if she has an HOA. If not, this seems like an easy solution. Originally Posted by niccig

Either donate it, curb it, or sell it for $20. I swear that buyers are much easier when I charge just enough for them to feel like they're buying it, but keep it low enough so they feel like they're getting the deal of a century. If it's free, it's bound to be a nightmare for me.
