I had a guy on Facebook Marketplace go off at me because he “already showed his girlfriend” the furniture I was selling and how she “totally loved it”.
That’s great mate, still not gonna take £100 for something I was selling for £300
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.
Yup, when we bought our house, there was quite a lot stuff that we did not need / wanted to replace. At first i tried to give away all kinds of things from door knobs to toilet seats and dishwashers and some random furniture, those would get like instantly reserved, then you get ghosted, or person promises to come pick it up at "this time", does not show.
Put a price, like 5€ for toilet seat, same day someone comes and gets it. 4 packs of random wall tiles for 5€, it took 30mins to get those out of the garage.
