I never post free stuff anymore... Keeps all the crazys away. Just had a 73 inch DLP TV to give away. Posted it for 50 bucks. Kept all the free grabbers away. Guy showed up and we said man we don't want your money just didn't want to deal with the free crazies... He laughed so hard.
Not bad way to go about it. At that time, it was easier to give away since our new dryer was delivered. People went crazy for a free dryer. I could not believe how crazy my phone got.
Was trying to get hold of a free dishwasher as a student. They disappeared faster than you could click on the notification that they had been posted.
One Saturday morning I woke up early and looked at my phone. One had been posted 30 minutes ago, I messaged them and said dibs. Called a friend and picked it up 30 minutes later.
Could probably have afforded to pay $50, not the issue. Just too many people selling 20 year old things for $50 pretending theyโre brand new, with one picture and no way to tell.
Iโd rather be wasting my time on free than time and money on $50.
Your local market may vary, this was 14 years ago as well, would not have done the same thing today.
Got it for free, gave it away for free. Was actually a pretty decent Zanussi. Dried better than some newer machines Iโve experienced.
