To be amazed at the entitlement?

I advertised a toy on FB. In pristine condition for £1 (would normally sell new for £8).

Someone living in a very wealthy area has asked me to deliver the toy to them when they know it's a 15 mile round trip. They don't want to know now that I've suggested a few pounds delivery charge for petrol and my time. It would still make the toy half of what it would cost in the shops.

AIBU to be flabbergasted at how some people expect the world to owe them something when they're already getting an amazing deal?

They seem really miffed at my suggestion of a delivery charge. Why on earth would I deliver something for £1 when it would cost me more than that in petrol let alone my time? CF!!! I can't believe the gall of some people.

@mizzmelli123 don't be miffed. Those families aren't keen on second-hand anything, particularly when it comes to their newborns, because it makes them look too poor to buy new.

I often sell my kids used toys for them. So charging a £1 is fine as is pocket money for them and encourages them to let go of items they don’t play with anymore.
