Date: March 12th, 2026 7:02 PM Author: Bright adulterous nursing home 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.

Date: March 12th, 2026 7:11 PM Author: Bright adulterous nursing home 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. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5844871&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310864#49738298) |

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

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. |

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 |

Date: March 12th, 2026 7:11 PM Author: lascivious place of business 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??? |

Date: March 12th, 2026 7:18 PM Author: overrated center pisswyrm 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 |

Date: March 12th, 2026 7:20 PM Author: odious lilac halford tanning salon 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 |

My HOA/neighborhood has a dedicated group for this and people are always selling stuff for a pittance or giving stuff away.

Date: March 12th, 2026 7:27 PM Author: maize nofapping sneaky criminal hunting ground OP, the buyer usually hauls the thing away for you. Sometimes that’s convenient imo.

Date: March 12th, 2026 9:18 PM Author: Submissive locus 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. |
