Understand totally why people throw it all in the bin!

[Booboooo]

Have a local facebook page for regifting baby/childrens items. Have posted several things recently due to potential housemove ans the likelyhood of having no more children! I can not belive the amou t of times ive agreed a winner of the item only to sit in lile a numpty for them to collect then i have e to chase them to collect. I gifted a recent item that gained alot of interest so in the interest of fairness i put all the numbers into a generator and it was picked at random. The amount of people who contacted me aftee the fact to say they were gutted they didn't win or even see the post in the 1st place was staggering. Im at my wits end with it all. But i also would hate to just bin the lot. Theres not many chariry shops near me so thats not a option. And even after they have collected it not a word of thanks........AIBU to think a simple thank you text the next day is too much to ask for?

People are arses and the cheaper it is (or free) the CFery just increases!

I've just sold all our baby stuff and as pp said put a low price on everything as it made it more sellable than giving for free in terms of arranging pick up etc.

Saying that tho, I had some really good quality barely used stuff for sale at a 1/3rd of retail cost that ppl still tried to piss me around on.

I had a woman who messed me around on pickup of an item and on the day she came to get it on the way over, she had the cheek to ask for 20 quid off it as "she'd lost her job 12 months ago and it would help" No matter that I'm a SAHP. I just told her no and if she didn't want it as a result that was fine

Do you ever get the charity bags through your letter box? We get tonnes.
There’s usually a charity clothing bin in tk maxx and I’ve seen one in M&S. also, big clothes bins in supermarket car parks, co-op, Asda etc.

the charity bags are a complete con! No one should encourage these scam artists to sell your clothes and give a couple of pennies to charity.

if they were upfront about it - same as the "we buy your gold" offers, it would be absolutely fine.
using a charity name is not acceptable.
