I recently moved to a smaller house and sold a few things in the process. I’ve also given away several items to family and friends, so I’m not being greedy, but the extra cash has definitely come in handy. I posted one item on Facebook, and a close friend of a family member (who lives next door) asked if she could have it for her daughter. A few weeks ago, I happened to be passing by and offered to drop it off, but she wasn’t home, so asked if I could leave it with my family member next door. That was about 3 weeks ago and I still haven’t received the money. I know she has the item because I visited my family
member yesterday and she confirmed that her friend had picked it up a few days later.
I know I’ll have to let the money go now, and fortunately, it’s not a significant sum. However am I wrong to feel frustrated and taken advantage of? As I mentioned, I’ve given away a lot for free, but I really wanted money for this item. I even had several messages on Facebook about it and could have sold it to someone else!
