[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my Bethesda neighborhood people just give things away.  Nobody wants to deal with the work of washing, sorting, photographing, dealing with emails.  Not worth it for the money.  Either people donate to a charity or give to neighbors to reuse.  In my former Moco neighborhood,, which is less wealthy and where I'm still on some lists everybody sells everything still.  Guess they value money more and time less.[/quote]
+1 I live in a rich neighborhood and no one sells children’s clothes, it’s all on Buy Nothing. [/quote]

Why are rich people doing buy nothing groups? I mean other than self righteousness.[/quote]

First, despite being “rich”, I don’t waste money. There is no reason to buy something new if someone is giving it away barely used (or sometimes new with tags).

Second, I gift because I don’t want to drive to Goodwill and I like the idea of these items getting a second life with someone who will love them like I did — much of what is sent to Goodwill ends up in landfills. [/quote]
