Should I give her the money or not?

So about 10 years ago my Aunt gave me a solid wood sideboard. I offered to buy it from her at the time but she didn't want anything and just wanted it gone. I was very grateful but now I no longer use or have need for it and so I have asked if she would like it back. She doesn't.

Its still a really good piece of furniture and so I put it up for sale for a small price £45. Somehow she found out and is now saying if I sell it, she wants the money. I'm confused by this as I've offered it back, so she could have it and sell it but she doesn't want it at hers or to sell it herself. So what she really wants is for me to keep storing it, try to find a buyer and then after the inconvenience of that hand the money over to her. Something about this has annoyed me. Am I wrong to feel annoyed and should I give her the money if I do sell it.

It's understandable, she probably would have been perfectly happy for you to pass it on again for free to someone who wants or needs it but when you sell it you are making money off something she gave you. At the very least you should split the money.
