    Me: giving away some stuff

    Craigslist 1: I’m on my way right now!

    Craigslist 2: I’ll be over after work.

    Craigslist 3: headed that way.

    Craigslist 4: hold it for me I’ll be there in an hour!

    Me: still has item

      That’s why anything I’m giving away I just put it outside and say first person to show up gets to keep it. It either gets sent off to someone who saw it or it gets ‘stolen’, either way not my problem anymore

        My friend had a couch in decent condition he was trying to give away. Left it at the end of his driveway with a big free sign on it. (on a busy enough street inappropriate reputable enough town where peope trust things like that)

        Left it out for a couple weeks, tossing it back in the garage when it was going to rain.

        Eventually he changed the sign to read: $100 OBO with a phone number (that was a fake phone number lol)

        Couch was ‘stolen’ in under an hour.
