Looks like my good run on marketplace is at an end. Today’s buyer was a no show, and the person who made an offer on another item yesterday has ghosted. I knew it was too good to last!

Gah! We’ve been getting Can I have it free, also delivered to the total other side of the city? This is why I prefer just giving stuff away.

My favourite was the guy interested in my $5 fishing net, who asked if I could post it and told me he didn’t need the handle so I could cut it off with a hacksaw.
I’m a definite fan of giving stuff away, but stuff you can’t just drop down at the op shop is a pain. I’ve found if I put a low price on there will often be competition to take it off my hands, but some items seem to just bring out crazy people no matter what you do. The fishing net was a bit wild, I was totally flooded with enquiries for that one. According to the guy that bought it it’s a really good net for boat fishing because it’s really deep and has a lip you can use to pull the boat towards you, but I still think the 30+ enquiries I was flooded with in the first few hours is a bit odd.
