Free Stuff Austin

Free stuff in Austin, without a price tag.

Givore is a free app for handing things to neighbors. You post what you are done with, somebody asks, and they come and take it. There is no price box in the app at all. Plenty of people find it after a yard sale, when the good stuff has gone and the rest is still on the table.

Four o'clock, and the table is still half full.

This is the moment the sale stops being fun. Five things you can do with what is left.

Box it by type

Kitchen things in one box, books in another. Boxes post better than piles.

Photograph in daylight

You have an hour of it left. Take the pictures before you carry anything back in.

Drop the prices entirely

Not to a dollar. To nothing. That is a different sort of listing and it gets read differently.

Say when you are home

Evenings this week, or Saturday morning. People plan around a window, not a maybe.

Take the rest inside

Anything left outdoors overnight looks worse in the morning and gets fewer takers.

Be honest about the last box

Broken things are not a gift. Whatever nobody would use goes in the trash, not on the map.

Why zero is easier than a dollar

No number to think about

Pricing a used blender takes longer than photographing it.

No offers to answer

Nobody talks you down from free, so the messages stay short.

No stranger with cash

You hand it over, they say thanks, and that is the end of it.

Do it before you carry it back in.

Three photos on the driveway now saves three trips to the garage later.

Questions from Austin

Because a dollar sign still invites a conversation. At zero there is nothing to argue about and the last of it moves the same evening.
Around thirty seconds. One photo, one line, and roughly where you are. You can do the whole leftover table in a few minutes.
Yes, for small items. One post for a box of kitchen bits works better than fifteen separate ones.
Post it anyway and hand it over during the week. Nothing has to leave your house on the day.
Leave those out of it. Anything opened, chemical or perishable becomes a problem for whoever takes it home.
