I wish I understood how this psychology works...

I received a brand new mattress that I didn't need (warranty replacement - but I bought a new mattress because I couldn't wait for warranty to be approved)... So list this $300+ mattress for free several times, showing it's still fully wrapped in plastic, brand new, etc.

During a week's time I got over 30 different messages like "still available? I'll take it", said yes, replying with my approximate address and phone number... not a single person ever responded or came by.

I got so burned out that I just dumped it in front of some Salvation Army or such place. Probably illegal, but at least they'd hopefully find some better use for it instead of taking it to the landfill.
