AIBU to sell something bought for me two years ago

[MRSMARMITE3]

So having a clear out as too many clothes i don't wear. Put a jumper for sale on facebook and next thing my mother in law is telling me shes upset as she bought me it and it cost her a lot of money, and that if I need the cash she will give me it and will take the cardi back.

Was this massively offensive of me? I'm a primark girl and it's superdry so I don't have a clue of its worth but I've had it for two years. I've withdrawn it from sale and said I will give to one of her grand children which she seems happier with. So whats the cut off point with gifts?

I remember a family member asking if she could borrow one of my indoor cages as her rabbit was pregnant.

6 months later the cage was on a fb sale page for £20! I was shocked! And tbh it made me feel a bit rubbish they'd do that.

Years back a family member gave me a crib, when I was finished I asked if they wanted it back or should I sell it. I sold it on their instructions and gave them 100%.

Anyway, it was insensitive of you to do it on fb. Next time use eBay or something

I think £5 for an unworn or barely worn SD jumper is pretty cheap tbh. I imagine she felt it was a slap in the face especially at that price. It sort of reminds me of how I felt when Dh and I had a party once. I bought the local fizzy booze in place of champagne - Sekt. It was a summer party and we were outside. Some of snobby French friends dh had at the time decided it was substandard and made a joke of throwing the contents of their glass up in the air behind them. I’m not suggesting that you were trying to make her feel bad as these women were just plain rude whereas you inadvertently hurt your mils feelings.

In answer to your question, no YANBU to want to sell it. Just not in your backyard. I think giving it to her gcs considering the price you want is a good compromise.

I think Superdry is expensive for what it is
OP you made a rookie mistake. Always assume everyone can see more than you'd want them to see on FB. And maybe get DMIL a bunch of flowers to say sorry.

Although I'm currently looking on the Superdry wesbite and they've got quite a lot of stuff on sale. Now look what you've done, OP.

Insensitive I think to sell any gift, better to give to charity or as is now the case, another family member.

Sorry to read that the OP is a 'primark girl' to use her words.

How hard would it have been to check the price? Superdry is expensive as far as I am concerned - only one person so far as said it is not!

Seriously OP its just common sense not to sell stuff on FB if you dont want the person who gave it you to see. Especially if its something thats 90 quid and you're selling for a fiver. What a massive slap in the face!!

I think selling it two years after getting it as a gift is ok. Weeks after it would not be great but two years would be fine by me.

I think it was the fact it was up for sale for a fiver that probably upset her after she'd spent £89 on it.
