my facebook feed sometimes pops up with random listings from my prole friends selling shit for like $10-$50. latest prole friend is selling a pasta maker for $25.

What’s wrong with making a little extra cash? It’s a good way to get rid of furniture or other large items in my experience.

the point is they put all that time and effort into selling a bunch of cheap garbage just to make maybe $200 or so altogether. $200 is a lot of money to them. prole finances, money management, etc.

it's better than throwing stuff away and it's a lot harder to find good places to donate. places like goodwill mark up shit too much.

i look at it mostly as getting paid a pittance to have people haul junk away

sometimes, pricing at some low amount is faster than saying something is free

i mean this is definitely a prole tell but it's not "sad" it's totally normal

facebook marketplace was originally all white people who did it 60% to socialize 40% to actually buy/sell stuff. now it's all done in private localized groups because creepy shitskins and literal criminals ruined it

They're probably not even complying with the sales tax rules in their states. So uncivilized.

My wife and her friends do porch pickups where she leaves it out and hopefully the buyer leaves cash...but not a huge deal.

I've put shit on there for eg $50 I want gone but don't want super methheads that might show for free shit. I put an air hockey table on for free once and I had a crack head lady texting me all night. She had this story about her car breaking down but her friend was going to fix it or something 'please hold it!'. I told her she sounded like she had more pressing matters. Lol and wtf a car???

there are a lot of white people who really, really don't like throwing stuff away, and it makes them happy to give stuff away to other people who will use it. even if they don't even get any money for it

everyone in my extended family is like this. i think it might stem from growing up without much money

there is also a school of thought that waste is bad and if others can make use of or repair something that is no longer of use to you, that's a great thing.

i'd argue this is a classic american trait like the protestant work ethic

It might be prole but I find it charming. My HOA/neighborhood has a dedicated group for this and people are always selling stuff for a pittance or giving stuff away.

I have a whole drawer full of old iphones and ipads and airpods cause its not worth dealing with selling shit like this

most of that shit is useless and should be thrown away or taken to electronics recycling

OP, the buyer usually hauls the thing away for you. Sometimes that’s convenient imo. And what would you have people do with Consoles, and Games?
