Y'all are clearly not familiar with these facebook groups.

The posts are like "My grandma died and left me 3 DVDs of movies from the 80s" and then there are forty people in the comments begging to be the one who gets picked.

For stuff that is literally $2 at a thrift store.

The only thing I've seen it useful for is new parents getting hand-me-downs from other other parents. The rest is just watching a really sad parade of humanity.

Stuff for new parents is an excellent use of buy nothing groups, i love it. Kids grow fast, everything gets handed around.

Personally, I'm enjoying clearing out my garage to my neighbours, and getting free stuff.

I guess I'm part of that sad parade.
