This is SO real. I was getting rid of a table recently, and I knew it was going to be a huge pain to move. I listed it for like $30, when the guy came and loaded it up in his truck, I offered it to him for free. He insisted on at least giving me a $20. Good vibes all around. By comparison, every time I've listen an item for free, I get all the same nonsense you posted about. People looking for "free" are SO exhausting.
