I think you missed the point. The point isn't that OP wants to make money.

    You also shouldn't try to control your kindness. If you are giving it away because you hope someone else will find use from it... Then that is the end of your need to control it. They can sell it and use the money to buy shoes and or other things they need or want.

    The point is that OP wanted to be kind in a specific way and would rather enrich themselves if it couldn't be met. Thats not kindness.

    I give you a gift; you can do whatever you want. Go home and fuck it or whatever. It's obvious I have no say in it.

    But selling a gift outright right away is insulting. It's common courtesy, then, to at least hide the fact that you're going to.

    Saying "Oh, I'm selling this" right to my face feels like a giant fuck you to me.
