Sometimes giving it away doesn’t work. When my wife and I moved into the house we’re currently moving out of, the previous owner left behind a rolling bar that we had no use or space for. Put it outside with a sign that said “free” on it. It was there for two weeks and nothing. Then I put a sign on it that said “$25” and it disappeared overnight. A lot of people think if it’s free, it’s junk. But if they think it has value, the local junkies/thieves will remove it for you free of charge rather quickly.

I had issues with people being flaky for free items. I always put a price on items now and then I’ll just give it to the person who shows up and make them feel like they got a deal for something they really wanted.

I remember that story, except it was a washing machine

My mom had a garage sale and had a box of free items- no one looked at them- she made everything 10 cents and the contents sold quickly
