    Ok, so, to be fair, it was during a time in my life where I was moving a lot and buying couches on craigslist for $75, which I thought was a lot of money for a couch at the time. And the level of wear that I received the couch in was in my mind, the baseline of couch quality.

    I simply couldn’t imagine that someone wouldn’t appreciate these couches.

      I’ve had that problem in the past. I was giving away my daughter’s clothes that were too small, and with offense in her voice, I was told “other families should be able to use this.”

      …yes, I originally got this from a trashbag, but I thought they were decent. I even discarded the stuff my daughter finally wore out and freshly washed everything I brought in! I guess my standards were yet too low, despite being one of the “poors” myself at the time.

      I’m also on team “very cheap second hand” couch. Prices on brand new are just too damn high.
