[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, asking money for most of this stuff is weird. Especially things that are only like $20-30 new. People on my neighborhood list serve will ask $5-10 for a used training potty. And it's never people who are hard up for cash, either. They are just stingy.

When I got rid of stuff like that I just gave it to friends with younger kids, donated it to a local shelter if they were taking the items in question, or curbed it. A lot of it was stuff I had received as hand me downs to begin with. And it's not like we're rich. I just don't try to nickel and dime people over something my kid peed in for the last year. So weird.

My guess is not that they are stingy. It’s that they’re overextended and up to their eyeballs in debt trying to not appear to be hard up for cash.[/quote]

Oh well then they failed because if you live in a home worth a million+, drive nice cars brand new cars, and dress in designer clothes and wear nice jewelry, and then post your toddlers used potty on the neighborhood listserv for $5, I will assume you are either stingy AF or that you're in debt up to your eyeballs.

Seriously folks, in most neighborhoods with lots of families, you can put this stuff in a box on the curb with words "Free" on the side and post a little "free item alert" to the list serve, and it will be gone in 20 minutes. I once put an old stroller out on our sidewalk with a "free" sign and it was gone so fast that I had to double check that I'd actually put it out because it didn't feel possible someone had already taken it.[/quote]
