Even if you intend to give it away for free, still price it. Once it's free it will attract a lot of... shady characters. In my experience at least. Even asking a very cheap price will almost eliminate all the weirdos and odd requests. It's like they only search for stuff that's free. When it came to my kid's old toys I ended giving it away for free when they came to pick it up with cash in hand.

Off Topic: But its the same reason why there are adoption fees on pets. Otherwise there are weirdos trying to hurt kittens.

Yep! This has worked really well for me! If I list things as free, I tend to get people with tons of questions and excuses, and lots of flakes or scammers. If I post things with a pretty low price, people are usually much more pleasant to deal with.

Even better to donate to a toy library, to make sure it isn't going to someone who is just going to flip it.
