my wife is currently in germany (north) as her dad died and she had to get rid of a ton of stuff. she said kleinanzeigen is barely active and she couldnt get rid of a bunch of things (anything from a big tv to collectables). she thinks the culture of buying used just isnt in vogue.. here in ireland, adverts.ie is absolutely thriving

Kleinanzeigen is very active and I suspect that this might be the problem here. It's absolutely flooded with furniture and antiques so it can be a tough time for sellers due to the competition. It's great for anyone looking to buy though.

right ok.. she's kinda short on time on account of no longer living there and her dad sorta started hoarding in his final years. a lot of what he had was very valuable in his eyes but probably no one wanted to buy it. little .800 and .925 silver statuettes of planes. they'll most likely sell the metal at strike price.

Half a year ago I posted a 15 year old Flat Screen TV, a 2.1 sound system, a smoke detector set and a couch table from Ikea for free. I had more than 100 messages in two hours and everything was picked up on the same day. I guess it really depends on what you want to get rid of and at what price. If you give away good stuff for cheap or free, there'll be a ton of attention. Old fashioned furniture however might be rather hard to get rid of.

fair enough- was this close to a city? cause she's kind of in the back ass of nowhere.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Yes, not too far away from a City with ~100k people.

PS: As a last resort - if she can't get find someone to pick the stuff up - most places in Germany offer a service called "Sperrmรผll", a kind of garbage collection specialized on furniture which doesn't cost much (~5โ‚ฌ per mยณ).
