My wife runs an estate sale company, helping families dispose of property. Sometimes the family wants her to give something away. She hates that. It’s way more work for her than selling it for even $1.
She says, “There’s no one more entitled than someone you’re giving something to for free.”
People responding to an ad for a free item will ask her to deliver it, load it, store it, repair it, and warranty it.
My theory is that folks who seek something out because it’s free tend to have more time than money. And that means they don’t value time very much.
I told them to put a $10 sign on it and someone would steal it.
It was gone the next morning.
