Freegle, Freecycle, Facebook Marketplace Timewasting IDIOTS

I honestly don't know why I do this to myself.
Swore I would never use these sites again due to rude, time wasting imbeciles.
But lockdown has meant that charity shops are closed, and in our local area all of the clothes donation banks are shut and taped over too. Our garage is literally bursting at the seams so I thought I would list some of the stuff on the above sites. Among other things I have 4 full black bags of clothes (an embarrassing amount still with tags), 2 black bags of good toys, boxes of ornaments, bedding, vases, photo frames, books, DVDs, unused household appliances, and several things also for sale (not free).
Had lots of replies but arranged with 7 different people times to pick up (before new lockdown). Out of 7 people only TWO fucking turned up. Most of those who didn't were the ones who sent several messages asking for the stuff and seemed very keen.
Why the HELL do these people do this? Is it some kind of fun for them to think that people are waiting in on them coming, bagging stuff up for them only for them not to arrive, and not even have the courtesy to say that they will not be coming? Is the world just full of rude entitled arseholes now?
Not to mention the replies like "mine" or "I'll have it". Or people claiming to be getting their first accomodation after being homeless, being offered all manner of leather sofas, furniture and appliances to get replies back like "can you send some photos" etc!! "needs delivered". It's not a fucking Argos catalogue!
People also asking you to deliver stuff to their house despite you saying you cannot deliver it. Ah okay, actually, I'll just actually BUY you a new item and have it sent to your house!
I'm loathe to throw away perfectly good stuff to landfill but at this point I really think I've had it with these websites.
Sorry for ranting, just pissed off that I had to wait in all day for arseholes who never turned up.
If you are one of "those" people please consider that you are being extremely rude and massively inconveniencing someone, at least have the courtesy to say you will not be coming.
It's obvious they have seen the message asking if they still want the item and even then, they can't be bothered replying.
This time I really mean it! Deleting the pages as we speak and everything going to landfill from now on.

I’ve had better luck offering stuff for a nominal fee like £5-£20 than completely free - it seems to put off the time wasters and people actually turn up.

I find this too. No idea why having to pay a few pounds seems to get people to pick up sooner but it really works. Whenever I list free things I get inundated with rude messages then no-shows. I’ve just listed some vintage clothing. Agree a pickup time, knowing he’s coming from 30 mins away. 10 mins before the time he tells me his car won’t start. The next night 3.5 hours after the agreed time he tells me he broke down. Also, why do people message asking if something is still available? I appreciate some people leave ads on but if you want it make me an offer or ask me a specific question. Most of the time you never hear from them again.

I've found FB market place to be ok so far. In other sites I've found it helpful to have a policy of only replying to those who ask when they can collect or how do they pay. People who are serious tend to ask that, time waster or dreamer tends to ask other things. Also never arrange collection if you have to put yourself out. Only tell them times when you was planning to be home anyway, it makes it easier to deal with if they don't turn up.
