For me it feels like breaking up with someone after many years. At the same time, I feel a bit dirty mentioning the name in the post title.

    I can only speak for myself - I don’t want to have to package and mail the things I am getting rid of. They don’t have much monetary value, but I feel good someone needed it and is using it.

    There are scams that sellers have to deal with like the scammer that will send a bogus check to pay for the thing and ask for change back. You deposit the check and a small number of weeks later your bank takes back the money because the check was bad. The scammer gets their ‘change’ back and the item they bought. You get left with a possibly negative bank account.

      Oh I see. I really wish there was a second hand service that did the delivery for you. It would make it much more hassle free for both sides. And it could literally just be one guy with a van driving laps around the city circulating the used stuff.
