I had an old cellphone that still worked, so I decided to put it on FB as a giveaway. Within about half an hour, I had several responses saying they were interested. Then, one person wanted photos of the phone, details as to its memory, etc. Were there any scratches? Was it suitable for a youngster to use? Another said they would be by to pick it up within an hour, and never showed or texted. I had waited for them before going out. A third wanted it delivered out of town. One person, who was fifth in line, texted me about every hour wanting to know their chances. Another told me a story about her handicapped son who had smashed his phone and needed a new one, and could I please ignore everyone else and let her have it?
So, this turned into a real job just keeping track of all the messages, who was to show up, what time, etc.
In hindsight, next time, I will just leave it on the front porch and say come and get it.
Geez.

I usually donate my old phones. There are women’s shelters that take them and there are also organizations that send them to the troops over seas.

Thank you. I could have looked into that. But it did wind up going to someone whose son had broken his.

Maybe communication, which now costs nothing, will win out every time over action.

Plenty of communication. No action.

We had the same issue when we first started giving away my daughters clothes she has outgrown. Now I just put them in a box by the mailbox and say come and get it.
