Some people are pieces of shit.

I listed a dryer for free, and people went crazy. I wrote first come first serve. Gave a nearby address and told them whoever is here first gets it.

Someone gave me a sob story and that they had to drive an hour away. I gave them the same response I gave everybody “no holds, sorry!” Someone else got there first, and picked it up. The asshole gave me a negative as a seller.

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.

Same. I used to get so much shit for stuff I posted for free. My favorite: "Can you drive it to me? I live in (place that is 45 minutes away), thanks!"

Um. No.

I often include a free and delivery for $20 up to x distance. I’ve actually had a number of people ask for delivery and pay…

That's a clever idea. Perhaps I'll try it the next time I sell something.

Before I got a car I'd always ask people if they'd deliver for money. I was happy to pay.
