[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My group has not jumped the shark, but there are a few people that I recognize because they are always offering literal trash.  "Gallon-sized bag of packing peanuts that came in a big Amazon delivery - please pick up by Sunday."  "Four leftover paper Happy Birthday plates from a party this weekend - must take all."  It's always the same two people, no one ever replies to their posts, but they're tenacious.

At this point I read their posts out loud to DH like "warm up the car, we'd better hurry if we want to get first dibs!"[/quote]

In our group, boxes and any packing materials are always in demand. And any pantry items or food will also have multiple requests. [/quote]

+1  And I have posted stuff I’m playing to trash because like.  I don’t want to stand in someone’s way if you want it/can use it?  For the environment and honestly for my own convenience it’s easier to give stuff away.  Like last week I posted five decade-old ikea chairs that all wobble.  I was upfront that they needed glue and/or screws.  Someone wanted them and now I don’t have to pay for bulk trash pickup.  Win for all of us![/quote]
