my facebook feed sometimes pops up with random listings from my prole friends selling shit for like $10-$50. latest prole friend is selling a pasta maker for $25.

What’s wrong with making a little extra cash? It’s a good way to get rid of furniture or other large items in my experience.

the point is they put all that time and effort into selling a bunch of cheap garbage just to make maybe $200 or so altogether. $200 is a lot of money to them. prole finances, money management, etc.

it's better than throwing stuff away and it's a lot harder to find good places to donate. places like goodwill mark up shit too much.

i look at it mostly as getting paid a pittance to have people haul junk away

100%

people see through "free" as an attempt to exploit them to haul away their junk. assigning a price that's like 10% of what it cost new implies there's a chance for the buyer to profit, but the reality is they're now just paying to haul away junk.

i mean this is definitely a prole tell but it's not "sad" it's totally normal

facebook marketplace was originally all white people who did it 60% to socialize 40% to actually buy/sell stuff. now it's all done in private localized groups because creepy shitskins and literal criminals ruined it

They're probably not even complying with the sales tax rules in their states. So uncivilized.

My wife and her friends do porch pickups where she leaves it out and hopefully the buyer leaves cash...but not a huge deal.

I've put shit on there for eg $50 I want gone but don't want super methheads that might show for free shit. I put an air hockey table on for free once and I had a crack head lady texting me all night. She had this story about her car breaking down but her friend was going to fix it or something 'please hold it!'. I told her she sounded like she had more pressing matters. Lol and wtf a car???

there are a lot of white people who really, really don't like throwing stuff away, and it makes them happy to give stuff away to other people who will use it. even if they don't even get any money for it

everyone in my extended family is like this. i think it might stem from growing up without much money

there is also a school of thought that waste is bad and if others can make use of or repair something that is no longer of use to you, that's a great thing.

i'd argue this is a classic american trait like the protestant work ethic

It might be prole but I find it charming. My HOA/neighborhood has a dedicated group for this and people are always selling stuff for a pittance or giving stuff away.

most of that shit is useless and should be thrown away or taken to electronics recycling

OP, the buyer usually hauls the thing away for you. Sometimes that’s convenient imo. And what would you have people do with Consoles, and Games?

OP doesn't get it. Sometimes you have items that (i) are a pain in the ass to get rid of and (ii) work perfectly well and really shouldn't go in a landfill.

You could give it away for free, but believe it or not, there's a significant difference between the class of people who will pay $40 for a sectional couch and those who want it for free.

The free people almost always flake out, waste your time, and seem like they will rob you.

Earl tp gave a great protip like 15 years ago. Do CURB ALERT for ur free shit but leave it on some random corner, not ur home address.

I've done it 5x in the years since and will circle around 10 minutes later and the stuff is gone it's incredible

its shrewd as fuck. i would sell 90% of the shit i own for 10% of what anybody paid for it even ten years ago. but yeah facebook is prole you should probably get into some real site for buying and selling shit. also, throwing shit out can be expensive and on top of that, a lot of people acknowledge that throwing usable shit out is extremely wasteful.
