Giving stuff away (selling condo)

[lkn]

I am selling my unit and have some things that I am not taking with me.

 

I was wondering if there is a Facebook group or similar where I can announce stuff that I am giving away?

 

I know that if I ask the cleaning lady or guard, they will gladly take everything, but this is my plan B, as I don’t really want to give them ethernet cables, laser printer, and such items, which I am sure they have no use for.

List the stuff directly on FB Marketplace with a reasonable price and you'll sell within some days.

 

But, if you give stuff away for free instead, our hands (and hearts) are always open for you.

Take them to the local school - those things you mentioned would be very useful to the kids.

Oh they will turn them into cash in a few days.

If the Teachers don't keep/sell them for themselves.

I have two words for you.  Father Ray.  Does great work looking after kids, and will surely appreciate your stuff.

As I said, giving it to building staff is my plan B.

 

But many of the items I have are not really something I think a Thai person would be able to sell, I already mentioned ethernet cables, but I also have things like an electric whisk, wine cooler, tea pot, bicycle lights, cheese board with cover, wireless Qi charger, bread knife, a.s.o.

 

I.e. things that most Thai people are probably not using, but many of these things are of good quality, so I’d rather give it to someone that will use it, than someone that has a small chance of selling it for a small amount…

 

I was hoping there was a Facebook group for “giving things away for free in Chiang Mai” as I know from back home.

 

Anyway, I will be shipping most of it to a friend here in Thailand, and then he’ll deal with it.

Can you deliver to Chonburi?

I think you have misunderstood my post. I was asking for a channel I can use to give away stuff easily in Chiang Mai, whenever I have something I do not need myself.

 

The goal was to find a way to give things away to people who actively wants it, rather than to someone who wants it just in case they might be able to sell it.

If they can be bothered.

 

I gave an old car to my skint sister in law. Instead of thanking me, she asked if I could just sell it and give her the cash instead .
