Ugh yeah @fionaw42 that's so true. I bought a cheap laptop once and the charger fried itself in like six months. It's such a hassle to keep replacing things.

Yeah, my brain is basically a tangled ball of yarn until I walk it off. @ruby_thomas is right, it's the best reset button. I'm just bad at remembering to actually press it.

Implement a waiting period like you said, but also maybe post a note saying you'll check back in 24 hours so neighbors know their stuff isn't just gone forever... It could ease tensions if people see you're being considerate, like when a nice chair disappears minutes after being put out... Giving that day builds trust because everyone gets a fair shot, and you avoid the nasty looks from people who really needed that free item... Plus, it filters out the true junk that no one wants, saving you time and hassle.
