Or, better yet, just give the stuff you don't need to the people interested in getting it, and participate in mutual exchange.

Crush capitalism!

    This is actually a tactic Antoine-Augustin Parmentier used to popularize potatoes in France. He couldn't get people to accept potatoes, so he placed armed guards to protect the plants, and withdrew them at a certain point in the day so that people could steal them.

  • Yep! This has worked really well for me! If I list things as free, I tend to get people with tons of questions and excuses, and lots of flakes or scammers. If I post things with a pretty low price, people are usually much more pleasant to deal with.
