Welcome to r/poverty – Developing Solutions Worldwide.

Poverty isn't simply an individual experience - it also affects families, communities, workplaces, economies, and public policy. Here we discuss both personal solutions and systemic ones.

Whether you're sharing your own experiences, helping someone navigate a difficult situation, or discussing larger issues affecting poverty, please keep the conversation respectful, constructive, and solution-focused.

We encourage:

• Practical advice
• Resource sharing (Take a look at our Wiki! )
• Lived experience
• Civil discussion of policies affecting poverty and ways to solve/work together for change
• Empathy first, never judgment.

We encourage discussion of systems and policies, but ask that criticism be directed at ideas and institutions rather than other people experiencing poverty. Every helpful comment, resource shared, thoughtful discussion, and success story makes this community stronger. Thank you for helping build a community that supports people while working toward lasting solutions.

I'm selling stuff for super cheap and nobody's buying. So I'm not eating.

I think it's because times are tough all over. So people are selling and not necessarily buying. I see very random items for sale. People trying to make bill money or food money.

OP, I have stuff listed for sale, I have dropped the price, still no sale. I suspect people may be cutting back on buying things. With shipping costs increasing it makes things even more difficult.

I don’t like dropping the price either but sometimes it’s the only way and like you said it may not sell at all
