I don't know if some people really think others are that gullible but the number of opportunistic folks lowballing online sellers is as ridiculous as their offers.
$5,000 for a new Steinway piano, $50 for a PlayStation... There's a special place in hell online for them—a subreddit called r/ChoosingBeggars.
It collects screenshots, pictures, or stories of people who are being way too picky when begging for things, and it has tons of them. Here are some of the most popular ones.

Chances are, we are now seeing more choosing beggars on the Internet than, possibly, ever. With the pandemic and changing consumer habits, the second-hand market is booming. In Spain, for example, 60 percent of people admitted they favor buying used products and giving them a second life. This includes clothes, furniture, and any other products that can be reused, recycled, and upcycled.
In the European country, star products last year were clearly linked to the new situation we find ourselves in, with the sale of second-hand computer monitors, office chairs and desks, exercise bikes and consoles seeing a 23 percent rise in sales.

Furthermore, experts estimate that the second-hand market (especially clothing) will continue to grow in the upcoming years as well. Resale is expected to overtake the traditional thrift and donation segment by 2024.
"For all the challenges Covid posed to our assumptions about consumer behavior, one thing is clear: consumers everywhere are prioritizing value and accelerating the shift to thrift," Anthony S. Marino, president at thredUp, an online consignment and thrift store where people can buy and sell high-quality secondhand clothes, said.
"When times get uncertain, we all focus on our family balance sheet. Brands whose core proposition delivers value and convenience have the opportunity to gain share. Amazon, off-price, and resale are emerging as winners."

However, if you aren't afraid of encountering a few choosing beggars and are willing to sell some of your stuff online, there are plenty of options you can choose from.
As Stephen Layton and Laura McMullen pointed out on NerdWallet, the major players are Amazon and eBay. But they also have higher fees. On the plus side, they're also some of the most highly-trafficked sites on the Internet. So if speed of sale is your goal, these sites are the way to go.

I'm not sure anything can be done to make your time valuable, you seem to waste it.
You can sell pretty much anything on Amazon, although listing your items in some specialized categories requires Amazon approval and an upgraded selling plan. The company charges several kinds of fees on items sold, depending on what kind of selling plan you have.
If you opt for the standard Individual selling plan, for example, you'll pay Amazon 99 cents per item sold and a referral fee. The referral fee is a percentage of the item's total sale price, including shipping costs but not taxes, and usually ranges from 8% to 20%.

Keep in mind that if you're selling media items, including books, movies, and video games, you pay a $1.80 closing fee, as well.
The upgraded Professional selling plan requires a $39.99 monthly subscription fee, but if you get it you don't have to pay 99 cents per item as you do with the Individual plan. The professional plan makes sense only if you plan to sell more than 40 items per month.

eBay lets you auction and sell a wide range of goods and has a simpler fee structure than Amazon. For most items, you pay eBay 10% of the final sale price of the item, which includes shipping costs but not taxes. If you post more than 50 items in one month, eBay starts charging you 30 cents per listing over 50.
eBay also allows you to promote your listing in various ways for extra fees. For example, you might want to set a reserve price so that your item is auctioned off for at least that minimum amount. For most product categories, the fee to set a reserve price is $5 or 7.5% of the reserve price — whichever is greater, with a maximum fee of $250. eBay charges this fee whether or not your item sells.

Bonanza offers people to sell a range of products similar to Amazon and eBay. It charges fees based on the sale price of the item, plus any amount of the shipping cost over $10. So if you sold an item for $20 and shipped it for $13, your fee would be $23. Bonanza charges you 3.5% of this price; in our example, you’d pay about 80 cents. There's a minimum fee of 50 cents per item.
For items that sell for $500 or more, you pay 3.5% on the first $500 and then 1.5% of the amount over $500.
Bonanza also offers to advertise your listing across the web in exchange for a higher percentage fee.

Reminds me of the time I was trying to sell my car. Was talking to several interested people, but the first person to show up with actual cash got the car.

Like... how was I supposed to know literally any of that? Had she told me any of that before, I might've been willing to hold the damn car for her, but what the hell am I supposed to do with her telling me after the fact?

For local sales, consider Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and Letgo. These websites and apps don't always take a cut of your sales, but you’re responsible for connecting with your buyer, meeting up in person, and making the exchange. This is definitely a different style than the online auctions and sales. If you're not comfortable handling all the logistics yourself and then meeting up with a stranger, you might want to skip these.
But if you are, you can arrange to meet your buyer in a public place (many local police stations offer a "safe haven" for such sales) or have a friend hang around while you make the sale. The simplicity here is the key: no packing, shipping, or fees, just cash in your hand. However, unlike many online-only sales sites, these marketplaces don't have any guarantees or protections if your buyer turns out to be a flake.

anyone that starts a convo with "yo" would automatically be blocked because they are not serious.
These bigger online sites are good for getting rid of miscellaneous stuff, but for specialty items, like antiques and vintage clothes, you might want to sell where you could reach a more intentional audience.
Poshmark, for example, is perfect if you want to list men's, women's, and children's clothing, as well as a few other goods. Its fee structure is simple: For all sales under $15, they'll charge you a $2.95 fee; for anything $15 or more, the fee is 20%. Poshmark charges your buyer $7.11 for expedited shipping, so you just print out a prepaid shipping label, box up your clothing and send it off.

You'll want to have a good idea that you can recoup these maintenance and service fees on Ruby Lane before proceeding.

I don't understand how all these people think that insulting the seller will get them what they want.
If you're looking for a way to sell your handmade arts and crafts or vintage collectibles, Etsy is best. You pay 20 cents to list an item and then a 5% transaction fee on the sale price of the item, not including shipping. If you use Etsy Payments to process your payment, you'll be charged an additional 3% plus 25 cents.
But remember, if you put ads in any of these websites/apps and encounter someone as unreasonable as the people we featured in this list, screenshot the conversation and submit it to r/ChoosingBeggars. It would be a crime not to.

I think you'll find that it not a call for help but a weak attempt at emotional blackmail...

Trying To Sell A Laptop For $120. This Person Offers Me $50 For It
You are Beautiful (He, Him) 4 years ago
A lot of people say that they need to for their kid so that people will "sympathize" with them, and tbh i don't think he has a child bc i can't think of one reason why anyone would have a child with that person.

Because they've only ever owned the cheapest garbage and have no concept of what high-end actually means.

i hate the word fa##ot but i hate it less when it's used in a sentence like this where the person saying it has no idea what it actually means so it's laughable.

I Sold A Really Unique, Old Vase A Few Days Ago And Forgot To Take The Listing Down. Got This Lovely Email As A Reminder To Do So
Nolan Schekel 4 years ago
Let me get this straight: you doubt the quality of the vase, pay 65 BUCKS LESS!!! than the original price, and you make the seller deliver. How stupid are you?

I sold a lot of items after I moved out of my parents home. It is crazy how people can behave sometimes. The most disgusting one was a guy that wanted to pay for the item by buying me coffee. Are you serious? Another one (an old scary man) came to my house enraged because i gave away a bike for free (I was a noob now I know to never sell in your adress unless the item is too big to carry it somewhere else). I also had a sexist idiot asking me if one of my fantasy books was "from my brother" and then explained me the plot. Of the book I read 20 times and I was selling... Becauae women cannot read fantasy apparently. I also had great experiences like an elderly man that picked up our washing machine for free (it wasnt working he wanted it for his soon to practice fixing it) and was such a sweetheart, he even gave me 10 euros for it.

The big mistake in the majority of these posts (fake or not) is that they engage with the jerks. Just ignore them... Also, as someone who has bought and sold stuff on sites like this (though not those exact sites) - I found the majority of interactions quite pleasant! Oftentimes, sellers will help you with the disassembling and loading, so long as you are polite and friendly. You can get great things for little money or even for free; and a decent amount of the stuff posted would be difficult to find in stores. Overall, I've been quite happy with my sells and purchases. Lately, I've given away surplus from overgrown garden plants for free, and (unrelated) got several heavy bags full of lovely perennials for nought; "garden is going to be redesigned, dig them out yourself" - except the seller helped with the digging and got me more bags because I'd underestimated the amount.

But engaging with the jerks is a lot more fun than ignoring them. Pretty sure the bulk of these sellers got a kick out of it.

How are these people still alive? I understand being poor. I grew up poor. But that sense of entitlement in these people really bewilders me.
Mama Panda 4 years ago
I am trying to start my business but I am also disabled and not able to work in a traditional setting so my income is very limited. I am always on the lookout for supplies cheap or free. I would never demand what these people have demanded and it blows my mind the sense of entitlement people have. It often makes me wonder how they would act if they were the seller instead and their reactions to people who treated them as they have treated others.

I'm really curious if that kind of behavior ever ends up working for them. Do they eventually hit on someone who is easily bullied?

I'd rather give my unwanted things to charity than sell it to any of the f*ckwad "buyers" in these posts. Luckily we have a community of travellers near my village who will take large appliances and other items with metal parts away for free. I just need to put it out at the side of my drive and it will disappear within 24 hours.

I almost sell a phone to a guy 2-3 years ago. Cash on delivery. And he called or texted me like 4 times a day. It's took about 3 days delivery. to do what? TO CALL ME A SCAMMER! He was like "Do you gonna scammed me?" "How can I know you are not a scammer?" something like that (We are not English speakers) Who on earth gonna says that they are a bad person! Especially with common sense. He didn't even pay for anything yet. So I just acting innocent and managed to get my phone back by promise that in the second timeI gonna video call him when packing, goes to the post, etc. For him to denial the package. Then I sold my phone to another nice customer. I should have known the red flag, he himself might be a scammer. He was rude the entire time since the beginning. And I imagine he might take advantages to demand refund but don't give the phone back. He can say that I didn't provide a video called when I packed and sent him a brick instead of a phone. (This one is also my mistake)

I sold 2 cars online and I will never do it again, one was a classic car that brought out all the old cheap guys. One guy pretended to be a young son that wanted a project car to work on with his "Dad" when I said I'd think about his offer I got another message from "Dad" telling me how proud he was of his son and how he would be over to get it, but it all came from the same phone number. I did not sell him the car. The next guy lowballed me and when i said no he called me every sexist, racist and homophobic slur he could think of then said he was coming to beat me up. Never again.

That sucks that that happened to you. On the other side of the coin, my son was in the market for his first car. We found a nice car with low miles and within our price range. The guy selling it seemed to be a pretty decent guy too. We get there and the car looked nice, sounded good but I still wanted to take it to a mechanic. At first the seller didn't object. We found out that the timing belt, the head gasket and radiator needed to be repaired or replaced. I told my son and the guy selling it no thank you and we were trying to leave. He got angry and started calling me all these horrible names and said we wasted his time. The next few days, he would send me a price lower than what he originally asked for and each time I would say no. Then he would call me a slew of nasty names and then undercut his price again. I finally had to block him. No way in hell were we going to spend a single dime let alone $2500 for a car that would cost us over $3000 to repair!
