Giving away some items

I have some items at home left by the previous owners that I wanted to sell. But since no one made any bids on Facebook I am planning to give them away for free. I have a better use for the spaces they are occupying. One of those is a storage drawer taking more space in the garage than it should. I am planning to put some shorter shelves and hangers instead. This would give me more space to move around the garage with the car inside. Do you have things at home that you want to get rid of?

We have to many things here that we no longer need. I need to get at and sell them online then some others in the yard sale in the summer time.

@Madshadi you can do them anytime you want here but it’s really only warm up in the summer. My kids get all the money from what is sold.

Is the yard sale a seasonal thing there?

@Madshadi Yes, and I cannot sell them. Most of them are my things like books and notebooks.

@Madshadi Yes. My sons' wives get first pick. I already promised a few things to my sister in law. I have no need of heavy winter clothing anymore, but will save a few things just in case we fly back for something.

I have a tonne of things I want to give away but no one to give it too. I will not try selling because the transport cost is not worth it. Eventually I'll just dump it.

Facebook has a nice market that let's you find buyers in your area. I always ask people who contact me to come and pick it up if they are interested.

@Madshadi I supposed i could but I am wary of anyone to come to my home. Sorry but the crime rate is just so high and we recently had a robbery.

I already given a lot of clothes back in the day. As of the moment, I do think there are things that are better kept.

We moved to a different apartment in the same house and some pieces of furniture and some knick-knack had to go. We put everything on the pavement in front of the house with a sign to take the things and didn't have to wait long until they were gone.

That's an easy way to get rid of things. That is allowed in Belgium on some specific days (I think).

Yes we do but some things just don't sell. We have a perfectly good bed frame which we could give away but no-one seems to want it.

I'm sure someone would take it for free. Did you try posting it online?
