Comment on Why all the free-stuff Facebook groups you’re part of just changed their name
theparadox@lemmy.world 1 week agoI was honestly really put off when some old guy nabbed a ton of stuff I had on there so that he could sell it all at his church’s fundraising auctions. Like, I’d rather not throw it away but eww.
He was almost always the first to respond to my posts when I was trying to downsize.

I did not always give to the first person to respond.

Much of it was all posted in a short period of time. I ignored him after he picked it up and told me what it was for. I’m just always saddened and frustrated that there seem to always be people jumping to take advantage of any situation, be a middle man.
In the long run, it’s again at least better than wasting it. I don’t have the patience to deal with trying to sell most things. It’s not like I went out and bought the stuff with the intent of giving them away to someone who needs it for free. It just… doesn’t feel as rewarding as knowing it is actually going to help someone besides a middle man.

At least he was honest about selling it.
