On craigslist things were going well, good ordinary down to earth good humans buying the stuff, albeit only 50% it's worth or less as if our economy is COMPLETE SHIT. However facebook market has been extremely disturbing.

Some of my items aren't getting enough hits on craigslist. I asked a girl where people are going for used items and she said 'facebook marketplace'. So I put some items on facebook marketplace however the demographic is TOTALLY different. For one it's younger people. Two it's liberal whiny entitled types instead of down to earth real humans.

I'm trying to sell a bed frame for ~$100. The price I got it for was $700. There is some cat hair on the bottom of it, and some small cat scratch little balls, however the two people which have shown up have whined and cried that "it looks used" "can you make the price lower"? WTF. IT IS USED. If you want 100% of the cat balls out then by all means! Get a small pair of scissors / razor / needle nose pliers to cut them out! It can be done. The cat hair? There is barely any at the bottom, FUCKING VACUUM TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION YOURSELF! They're on the bottom! Trying to knock down the price? What IN THE LIVING FUCK! It's already 15% it's purchase price. It is BELOW the selling price BY FAR for it's great condition.

They literally say "well I could get a new one for $300". Well FFS if you want a new one THEN GET A NEW ONE. The entitlement is BEYOND comprehension. They want it for free and I'm a peon in a communist country I should just be giving my shit away for free.

Also for the features of this frame, it'd be no less than $500 for the frame. Whether they care about the features or not is non of my business (no center side post to stub your toes on, couple inches higher than the norm for storage, non flush sides, single piece sides instead of two). The price is FAR below either.

Yeah I don't do craigslist anymore; left faceberg years and years ago. I just call the local christian shelter and they'll take anything no questions.

Consider just donating; Habitat for Humanity often will come and get it and you don't have to do anything (moving it or lifting it), i.e. old fridges etc

I gave up on donating businesses, they just turn around and sell it for obscene profit. A used bowl is at least $8 u.s.d and like a pair of jeans is $20 or more. Donate by giving directly to people. We donated my late mother's clothes to ladies at a nursing home and donated hospice supplies to something called "nurse's closet" that use unused supplies.

OTOH, St. Vincent DePaul isn't as mercenary as goodwill or salvation army

On one hand, donating is a great thing for both sides. Then it is often corrupted (think salvation army).

Its an excellent tax write off vehicle for "charitable donations" Write values of items, get receipts. Fuck them with their own game... You can come up with several thousand dollars this way each year if you are diligent (that washer on the side of the road... it is a donation if you make it work. Many work already, (often a few dollars to a few 10s of dollars if it doesnt)) or it is parts and scrap metal for the next exact attempt, (or just leave it on an empty house's driveway, someone else will grab it for what value they can get). It is pretty easy to come up with 5-10k deductions in donations each year in your spare time as an individual willing to haul the item to the donation center. - I digress...

On the other hand, it mostly goes to enrich the jew at the end of the day with most charities.

Could you show some examples of Salvation Army corruption? I looked, but all I could find were libshits crying out loud that Salvation Army is racist, sexist, homophobic, you know... all those things...

The Salvation Army went woke. I wouldn't give to them any more. They were the one charity I did sometimes donate to.

My biggest problem with the salvation army, is its a worldwide global charity...
