Even if I want to get rid of something for nothing, I'll put it up for a fiver.

The number of fucking idiots that come out of the woodwork rises exponentially when you list it for free, proper unreasonable or a ludicrous false sense of entitlement.

I'll wait until someone wants it, offers to pay, and tell them to keep it and put it in a charity box on their way home or some shit. Saves a lot of hassle.

I used to do this, too, until local charities started complaining about all the lamps being posted into their donation boxes.

I just put stuff at the end of the driveway with a $20 sign on it.

Someone will come 'steal' it in under an hour.

I just donate things to thrift stores. I can't be bothered to sell anything. I did enough customer service jobs when I was younger to know that I have zero patience for customers.

You misunderstand.

Keep the payment, take the goods.
