This is really, really stupid. I've sold a lot of stuff second hand and I price it for what I want out of it / how fast I need it gone. If I want it gone fast, I price it really cheap. If I don't mind holding onto it for a little while, I ask more and I wait.

I don't, like, ask or check on the neediness of the people buying it. That's ridiculous and none of my business.

If i want something gone fast, but then someone else is willing to put more time into it, I don't get mad about that. I am happy for them and glad the item is being recycled.

Also, I've bought a lot of stuff second hand, including from some people who clearly resell stuff on the regular, and let me tell you, some of those resellers were pretty desperately poor / seemed to be shut out of traditional employment for whatever reason.

But I feel like an asshole even typing this, trying to judge based on appearances who needs what. Even if I gave a discount on a dresser because I thought she was gonna use it herself, and it turns out she's solidly middle class and sold it at a profit, what the fuck do I care. I wanted to get rid of it, I didnt want to throw it away, and I got $25 out of it. I'm too mad at the billionaire class to worry about someone in my neighborhood with a little hustle.

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.
