I see lots of people on my various Facebook groups selling items that are $5, or less. Things like one used children's outfit or a small decorative home item. When I've sold stuff, I've dealt with flakes who don't show up, or who show up having "forgotten" their money and ask if they can have it for free, or other really annoying things. Dealing with that, as well as creating the post and taking the picture and fielding questions and all that gets frustrating.
It hardly feels worth it to me for less than $20. I'm wondering what others do.
I do also live on a small military base, where everyone knows everyone, which tends to help with respect of one another, so I'm considering listing smaller things and just telling the person I'll leave it on my doorstep and asking them to leave the money under the mat. If I do this on Facebook, I likely have their name, though they could always claim someone had stolen it before they arrived. That way, I'm not waiting around for late people, I'm not there for them to try to haggle with after we've agreed on terms, and it takes up almost none of my time. Anyone use this approach?
