Why does this bother me?

So I have some clothes, bags and shoes I want to give away to charity, but first I decided to call my aunt and cousin to check if they would like them first.

I have never taken clothes etc to a charity, but decided this might be the best option, as I would like to sell them on Facebook market place, but I'm scared I might get someone strange coming to my home from there, and also I need to get rid of everything quickly ( no room in my house).

I called my aunt and she said "no need to send me any pictures of the things you have, I'll take it all! I am selling things at a bootsale and will sell them there"

Now I guess if I am giving them for free to a charity, why does it bother me that my sister could make money from these items!

Btw she will not be giving me any money from these, and some of the items are ted baker, fat face, next etc

I guess you are just cross with yourself that you can't be bothered to put the work in of either trying to sell them at a car boot, or sell them on line.

You have decided that your time is worth more than any cash you might make.
She has decided that she is putting the work in and doing the car boot, so, if there is stuff you are giving away, she might see if it can make her a few ££

She is being open about it. Your choice if you decide to try selling it yourself, give the stuff to her, or give it to a charity shop.

Absolutely this!

I'd pay NOT to do a car boot/vinted.

It's a win win. You get rid of your stuff, your sister/aunt makes some money.

She's been honest about it all. And as for PPs that have said ask for half!

Bloody hell.

it is bloody hard work doing a good car boot sale / vinted / ebay / whatever. your sister is taking a bunch of work off your hands, and if she gets some cash, then fine.

Because you’re a bit of a dick probably.

You want someone else to go to the hassle
of selling them but you want the money.
