A predefined Kleinanzeigen-Logistics-Discussion skill would be nice. It's cumbersome to copy over chat messages manually. #kleinanzeigen (mastodon.social)

(Last point is beyond alt text size limit:

  1. Keep It Simple

The less you engage in back-and-forth, the better. A single, clear message is often more effective than multiple attempts to coordinate.

Bottom line: Treat free giveaways like a transaction—you’re doing them a favor, so they need to meet you halfway. If they won’t, move on. Your time and effort are valuable!)

1. Set Clear Expectations Early Be direct about logistics: When someone expresses interest, immediately ask for concrete details (day, time, location, how they’ll handle the handover). Frame it as a requirement: Make it clear that you need a plan from their side, not the other way around. "To make this easy, let me know when and where you’d like to pick them up. I can’t just drop off stuff at random times." 2. Don’t Over-Explain or Over-Commit Avoid giving too many options or justifying your own schedule. People who want free stuff often assume you’ll bend to their convenience. Example of what not to do: "I’m usually free on weekends, so if you’re around then..." Instead, force them to propose something. 3. Use Your Own Plans as Leverage If you have a fixed commitment (like your event at Haus der Begegnung), use it to your advantage: "I’ll be at [location] on [day/time]. If that works for you, great—otherwise, you’ll need to suggest something else." This puts the responsibility on them to align with your schedule. 4. Protect Your Time and Energy People who want free stuff often don’t value your effort. By making them do the work to meet you, you filter out the unreliable or entitled ones. If they don’t respond with a concrete plan, it’s a sign they’re not serious.
