If you see something listed for "free" or at a steal, standard opening lines like "Is this still available?" are often ignored by busy sellers.
: If you ask about an item, always respond to the seller, even if you decide you aren't interested.
: If you are buying or picking up a free item, show up at the agreed-upon time or notify the seller immediately if you can't make it.
: If someone is selling a high-value item for a low price ("gold for the price of dirt"), do not negotiate. Offering the full asking price or even slightly more ensures you are the one the seller chooses. General Rules for "Buy, Sell, Free" Groups
Community groups often have their own etiquette to ensure a respectful experience for everyone.
: Use phrases like "first come, first served" or "must pick up by Saturday" to motivate procrastinators.
