re: Donating old clothes and furniture vs Selling

Obviously you'll get more $$ on craigslist but what a hassle. Last time I moved apartments I tried selling stuff and I made two sales (theoretically), both to college students. One dude I think got cold feet about spending $200 and flaked on me. He bitched that he called in the middle of the day and I didn't answer. I was napping, dammit. To be fair he was probably 18 and that seems like a lot of money to a kid that age.

The other supposed sale was to this law student who was shockingly . So she gives me $50 for this heavy chair, and I have to drag it into her car for her. Then two days later she claimed she found "insect damage" in the chair and told me she wanted her money back. So I had to drive down to her house and pay her back, and again drag this heavy arse chair our of her house and into the dumpster.
