Last time you tried to get rid of a sofa, wardrobe, or bed on Facebook Marketplace or classifieds like Craigslist: how many messages, how many “I’m on my way”, how many no-shows? I am researching to understand why second-hand bulky furniture is chaotic - both for sellers and buyers. I am only looking for real experiences from the last 24 months:

Seller (giving away / selling / donating):

A large furniture item (e.g., sofa, bed, wardrobe, table, dresser) ideally under a deadline (move-out, clearance, renovation, new tenant) used: Facebook Marketplace / classifieds / neighborhood groups / flea market / second-hand shop (or paid for removal/pickup)

Buyer (buying / picking up for free):

bought or picked up a large furniture item second-hand (or for free) used: Facebook Marketplace / classifieds / second-hand channels

I would love to have conversations and understand things, but if you prefer a more formal anonymous survey, I have included a link as well.

Thank you in advance for the responses.

I tried summarizing https://youtu.be/5Qb1tIw_RQc?feature=shared A 90s B class movie from Bollywood. This tool certainly saved me 2 hrs of my life by offering a decent summary. Not that I would have actually watched the whole movie, but it worked. I do not know of real life applications for me, but certainly interesting that you can use AI to do this.
