For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

Or, better yet, just give the stuff you don't need to the people interested in getting it, and participate in mutual exchange.
Crush capitalism!
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.
