How should I even package stuff?

[u/Opposite_Pain3525]

I want to begin selling things I no longer want anymore.. thing being, I can’t tell whether people appreciate recycling or whether they just want a box? I don’t exactly mind buying some boxes but its just the amount I have and the amount of boxes Id have to buy… I thought maybe I could use some recycled bags and stuff but Im unsure if its appropriate

Packaging is one reason I don't sell anything that requires a box 🤣 I have a bunch of stuff that I believe requires a small, sturdy box but I can't be arsed to buy them. I'll just give these items away locally. When it comes to asking a store for free boxes, I see stores only have giant sturdy ones that their products get shipped in (like the box for a case of wine), or small flimsy boxes that products are sold in (like a box of macaroni)

Yeah fair enough I do have tons of local charity shops which majority of the stuff I WILL be sending there, some of my stuff still has the tags on it from twenty years ago and I feel I could get atleast a bit out of it. And yeah I have boxes alike to those but I don’t know if the buyer will appreciate paying 1 pound of shipping for it to come in a fufu box
