POV: Your wife is selling it to get rid of evidence. /s
Yeah the deadly risk of... being in public?
Maybe it's because I've only ever bought stuff on FB marketplace instead of selling most of my stuff there, but I've never really had much of a problem with it. Everyone's super accommodating, and super nice every time. Especially when their stuff is free, I've gotten like 3-4 CRT monitors from there, a sick huge bean bag with the memory foam, an old IKEA tv stand from like the 90's or early 2000's. I dunno. If you're really that nervous, just meet up in a public location, and make sure you're packing heat, it's not too bad.
This is possibly the most American post ever lol
Bro, that's a 600 dollar Vitamix
Please tell me that's not the real price for what is essentially a few small blades in a cup attached to an electric motor
Oh you'd better not ask about mine, then :x ~~Mine retails for about $3k new.~~
Bought it barely used for a really good price.
It's an infernal machine. My wife bought it secondhand for pennies and is making smoothies for kids with it. But damn at full throttle it sounds like a jet engine. Whenever it stands on the kitchen counter I carefully tiptoe around it scared it will suck me in and pulverize me into fine tomato paste.
It's, like, a really good motor...
Well.
They say it is.
I sell shit like this regularly for the past decade, 0 issues
How have you convinced people to buy your shit? Do you market it as rare shaped shits or rare animal shits?
Very rare
The real connoisseurs prefer to know where the ingredients were sourced from, and the doneness should be rare-medium at best.
Hold up, is that a shorty Vitamix canister? Easily worth 10
I never understood why people sell things like that. Why not give them to people in need. It might be $9, but to someone who needs it, could be life changing. Maybe they will make a delicious milkshake, who knows.
Donating shit online marketplaces is just plain shit. You get either people flipping it for profit, or some assholes asking to deliver the item to other side of the continent for free. Either donate to some red cross pawnshop or similar, or sell for lowish price to get rid of it quickly - price that makes no sense for someone to try flip it
Obviously if you know someone who needs it, the sure go ahead and just give it to them
I've too have tried giving stuff away for free and I always the worst experience, unappreciative people who want to manipulate any way they can, or no show etc.
But when I post it for a low price it completely removes that group and suddenly I get nice people who have wanting this thing for so long but struggled to afford it and they will go out of their way to meet up. Usually I just giving it to them free after they've been so easy to work with and their mind gets blown. They show initiative, they work hard for what they want and get rewarded for it. This is the way.
I've started doing that too. List something for a low price to weed out the entitled freelisters, then give it free to whoever shows up without being a pain in my ass.
Unfortunately it doesn't weed out the scammers or the folks who just ghost after saying "is this still available?"
Is it still available though?
wait for them to under-buy you. "it's for my wife's birthday, she's terminally ill with cancer and aids and she's a veteran of all 9 of the wars we're in! Can't you give it to me for less?!"
"Can you also pay shipping to Alaska?"
That has to be followed up with another over the top sob story about their kid with some other disease.
Y'all got any more of those $9 Vitamix?
Meet up with strangers at a police station. Especially if you are the one bringing cash. Bad actors will refuse to meet at a police station.
Ya, but you might end up getting shot by the police instead.
"SIR!!! What is that box in my hands?!?! Drop it now!!!"
"It's a blender! It will break if I drop it."
"Johnson, I heard explode if he drops it"
Bam bam bam.
Job well done. Time for my "administrative leave" while the union sort this all out.
That's funny and I chuckled, but for real the police station down the street has designated parking spaces specifically for these types of transactions.
Unless it's a specifically designed for it, I probably won't go to a police station with a box.
