    It took me 25 minutes to get rid of a Craigslist buyer once. He was buying a hand truck, a generic, wheeled truck.

    But boy did he want to talk, and talk, and talk. Just gimme my $20 and go away now.

      If I can’t get 100 for something it gets donated to the thrift shop. Its just not worse all the hassel.

        I give those away on the Buy Nothing groups first. Thrift stores throw away what they can’t shelve, and you know you’re helping your neighbors directly.

          Buy Nothing is such an incredible concept. My local group is super active and you can ask for the most random thing and have an offer in minutes. A few years ago I asked for a machete and had three people offering to give me one within 20 minutes.

          Im sorta lucky in that we have a local charity run one that is a great place to donate and buy. Its not like goodwill or such.
