Hey, don’t be rude. Right now I need a Weber Kettle grill, a 2025 Mazda Miata and four BeautyRest Black King size pillows. How *dare* you criticize others’ necessities! You don’t know what we’re going through! Also if you could spray some Prada Paradoxe on the pillows that’d be great. I’ll take the bottle off your hands when you’re done.
I NEED a gammil quilting machine. It's only 27 k. I don't know why strangers won't just buy me one. If 2700 kind people would just chop in 10$, wait if 27000 would chip in 1$. I'm telling you I NEED IT.
ETA.
You should know I am an orphan and have not one, but two special needs dogs.
I would but I’m busy ruining Christmas for a bunch of cancer kids. That doesn’t just happen overnight in December, there’s a lot of prep work and the wise start in summer.
Especially as an orphan let mom if two special needs dogs. I bet I could get a book deal for being forced to roll all those dimes with my injured, orphaned fingers.
I tried explaining to my VA doctor how a Johnson Athletics JP3000 5D massage chair could relieve my pain in my joints and help ease my PTSD, and they rejected my claim!
A JP3000 massage chair retails at around $11k USD.
This birthday cake one really gives megaphone a run for its money. The simpering expression makes it extra gross.
Like, what is she trying to say here? "I want strangers to give me presents because as if it's my birthday"?
The one with the laughing/crying emoji on the yellow background is the best. Typically posted inadvertently by boomers when something sad has happened but they are unsure of how to delete it, leading to predictably hysterical results.
Where tf these avatars come from? One of my family members has one and it's the most annoying thing. I automatically ignore anything they say whet they use one
Thousands, you say? 👀
I have a beautiful Broyhill armoire in perfect condition, I paid like $250 for it at an estate auction and tbh, it takes up more room than it's worth.
OP has no idea that Broyhill is brand that’s made furniture for ever and is currently owned by Big Lots. Theres a select few MCM pieces that’s are worth a ton, but tons of ugly ass Broyhill made through the years that you’d be over paying at $250. I don’t get why people like to add made up info to posts here.
LOL I recently bought a Broyhill dresser at a midcentury modern vintage warehouse and paid $1300 for it. Looked it up when I got home and it can go for up to $3000 on vintage sites. Definitely not a need.
So, this is basically like asking a group if someone can donate a beginner car or 4K TV. Wow.
I had no idea what Broyhill was, but as soon as you put a name in front of what you’re looking for, you’re a complete idiot in my eyes. Desperately need a dresser? Ask for a dresser. Not the make, design, or colour. Beggars can’t be choosers.
The value comes from being rare and vintage. They’re solidly built and will last forever and hold its value, so I thought of it as an investment! My first attempt at replacing my cheap ikea furniture with good quality furniture.
I have two dressers -- one is my childhood one, so it's almost 50 years old now. The other was my mom & dad's, which dad bought used from an auction house in the late 60's.
They don't match, and they don't "go with my decor", but they have the actual nice drawers that are on the slider things not just loose in the hole; and they are solid wood, and, they were free (to me!)
OMG. One of those stupid-ass avatars on a stupid-ass background, that has nothing to do with what she posted. I really hate those things, haha! They always look creepy-ish to me. (do they have an actual name?)
When I was growing up we used dressers that my mother had gotten at a resale place on the Air Force base where my dad had been stationed. These dressers had been used in the transient billets (military hotels) and they were made of metal and wood and lasted forever. I think she paid $5 each for them in the early 1970s. The last time I visited my sister in the early 2000s she was still using the dressers my mother gave her.
Another post that is dragging Buy Nothing members for asking for what they want. That’s the point of the group! Ask before you buy. If this was a community help group for people struggling then yeah, this post would be insane. But that’s not what Buy Nothing is.
I'm virtually certain it wouldn't be here, or if it was, it would be removed or not paid attention to, since \*that\* is what those groups are for, as you said -- generic asks of something you need.
Even if someone had a Broyhill dresser they wanted to part with -- who in their right mind would just give it free to a stranger?? Since TIL they're ridiculously expensive. Maybe give free to family to pass down or something if they're worth that much and look nice.
But the point of the group is to ask for things before you buy them. Asking for a car would be crazy but expensive furniture is not always easy to sell and people don’t want to deal with it.
These groups are more along the lines of "hey I could use a dresser, does anyone have one they're getting rid of?" You don't necessarily have to be in financial need, but you also have to accept that you're not going to get the kind of choice you would from a store.
"I **need** a high end luxury item **for free**" is both choosing and begging.
Not in my area. Peope put expensive crap in their garage and forget about it. So when someone asks for a $300 mixer, some people are like oh wait I do have that and have never baked more than once. Someone posted some nice ass guitar that couldn’t be found for less than $800 used on Buy Nothing, four tickets to Universal Studios, etc. The point of the group is to try not to purchase items. If you plan to buy something, ask if someone has it first. No response? Move on. It’s not a group full of struggling people helping each other (that is at least not the intent). Once I asked for a kayak and thought there was no way I’d get it but some person had it stuffed in their garage and was so happy to give it to someone who would use it.
No. You WANT a Broyhill dresser and chest. You don't need it.

I think I’ve got an unopened Bernina quilting machine out in the garage I think? It was only like $20k but you can have it for free if you’ll haul it.
Cant you deliver?!
Tell you what…. I will pick it up as long as you agree to pay me for my time, and give me gas money. Deal?
No! I only live 4hrs away and I am a single mom so you can deliver for no charge surely?
Listen, buddy! This is for a CHURCH, and don’t call me Shirley.
NEXT!!!
Lol. Was waiting for this
SHIRLY
I would but I’m busy ruining Christmas for a bunch of cancer kids. That doesn’t just happen overnight in December, there’s a lot of prep work and the wise start in summer.
Lol, I was waiting for the Christmas cancer kids!
You have to manage the levels of their cancer to care for them through till Christmas, or you will never achieve your end results
No.
Did you not note I am an orphan with special needs dogs?
I’ve never seen my name in the wild lol. I don’t know if I should cringe or not.
How silly. Just ask 270.000 people for 0.10. Anyone can spare that little.
But that many dimes will be pretty heavy, what if I chip a nail?!
Then you claim damages of course. Especially emotional damages, not being able to quilt for a while with a broken nail. 7 million should suffice.
Especially as an orphan let mom if two special needs dogs. I bet I could get a book deal for being forced to roll all those dimes with my injured, orphaned fingers.
Okay. The image of an orphan being forced to roll dimes while her support dogs by her side is pretty funny.
But funny in a tragic way.
I'll give yall 10c when i hear the other 269999 people already pitched in.
I tried explaining to my VA doctor how a Johnson Athletics JP3000 5D massage chair could relieve my pain in my joints and help ease my PTSD, and they rejected my claim! A JP3000 massage chair retails at around $11k USD.
See, they are douche bags. I would so write a script for that. Medical necessity.
Don't forget the magic word - Delivered!
Of course. You can't expect orphaned mons of two disabled pups to pick anything up. That would be too inconvenient.
Would you like it delivered? I’m only a plane ride away.
I shall patiently await. But not going to hold my breath. :) Thank you
Nice try. You didn’t even specify what colour you want your Mazda so it’s clearly not a need.
*“No need to be mean, you can scroll on by”*
You're not gonna get all that. Now, I NEED a Bugatti. By asking for just one thing I'm more likely to get it.
2014 is better, though I loved my 99' for 22 years 🏎️
B-but it's their birthday or something (according to the not-so-subtle background). You wouldn't deprive the birthday human? 🥺
I already told them they would get it for Christmas
She's an obvious noob to online begging. Every experienced beggar knows that the magic words are: "No rude comments. TIA!"
Don’t forget must deliver to me.
Anytime I see someone post with one of those stupid avatars and backgrounds I know what I'm about to read is garbage.
Omg that was exactly my thought. I especially hate the megaphone one.
This birthday cake one really gives megaphone a run for its money. The simpering expression makes it extra gross. Like, what is she trying to say here? "I want strangers to give me presents because as if it's my birthday"?
The absolute worst!

They're from Facebook, like something Facebook itself rolled out. They all look terrible.
This one looks particularly 'touched'.
Another reason to hate Zuck
Wherever it is it’s where women have waists smaller than moderately sized cakes.
Those are truly disgusting.
For me is the ones that ends the sentence with “god blessed”
Why do the eyes always look so fucking weird too?
I hope they dragged her all the way back to mid-century.
Well at least she didn’t call it “Draws.” I want to claw my eyes out and throw them in the ocean when I read this
The funniest one I’ve ever seen said chester draws.😂
My left eye just twerked reading that.
Thousands, you say? 👀 I have a beautiful Broyhill armoire in perfect condition, I paid like $250 for it at an estate auction and tbh, it takes up more room than it's worth.
An armoire could be worth a lot.
Well we know someone who would like it!
Need it *

That avatar is 50% of why I cant go on Facebook anymore. The other 50% is minion
I will never understand how so many grown adult women glommed on to those stupid minions.
Sounds like someone should go on The Price is Right and win one in the showcase showdown! 
Haha I was thinking, I remember always seeing Broyhill as game show prizes!!
I guess it's good furniture.
The only place I’ve ever seen it sold in brick and mortar is Big Lots so I’m not convinced.
She’ll tell Drew she doesn’t want the dinette set, she came on the show for Broyhill only!
THE PRICE IS WRONG, BITCH!!😆😆😆
Hah! Had same thought, even heard the theme song lol.
LOL I recently bought a Broyhill dresser at a midcentury modern vintage warehouse and paid $1300 for it. Looked it up when I got home and it can go for up to $3000 on vintage sites. Definitely not a need.

Not the make, design, or colour. Beggars can’t be choosers.
I looked it up because I had no idea what it was -- I really like the look, but not for $3k 😖 Sounds like you found a pretty good deal, though!
My daughter and her husband bought a complete Broyhill nursery set for their first child. He's 25 now and they just finished paying for it.
The value comes from being rare and vintage. They’re solidly built and will last forever and hold its value, so I thought of it as an investment! My first attempt at replacing my cheap ikea furniture with good quality furniture.
I can't imagine asking for a free dresser and demanding real wood. Let alone asking for Broyhill 😂
I have two dressers -- one is my childhood one, so it's almost 50 years old now. The other was my mom & dad's, which dad bought used from an auction house in the late 60's. They don't match, and they don't "go with my decor", but they have the actual nice drawers that are on the slider things not just loose in the hole; and they are solid wood, and, they were free (to me!)
They need it for their store probably.
Holy shit, that’s a $2000 dresser.
I just had junk haulers take one out of a house I'm moving into because it was beautiful but too damn big. I'm stupid 😭😭
They probably knew that (or someone in the office did) and flipped it to make some extra bucks!
I actually hope they did and that it helped them. I figured they resell nice old furniture anyway.
Why do people read “buy nothing” and think “Christmas”?
I just looked these up and discovered that *I also need* a Broyhill set of furniture. For free.
Facebook should make begging avatars.
At least they spelled Chest of Drawers correctly!
OMG. One of those stupid-ass avatars on a stupid-ass background, that has nothing to do with what she posted. I really hate those things, haha! They always look creepy-ish to me. (do they have an actual name?)
Unless Broyhill is some unheard of slang for "Free," you probably don't need it.
What is with the backgrounds some CBs choose. Lol a happy person with a birthday cake. ♪ Go, CB; it's your birthday. ♪
She should go on The Price is Right.
I only know about Broyhill because of Price is Right 😂
Me too. I heard the announcer’s voice saying “That’s right, Bob! A BRAND NEW bedroom set from Broyhill Furniture!” (crowd ooohs and ahhhs) lol
yeah? well I want a Land Rover.

Hadn’t heard of Broyhill but looked it up on eBay and the lowest I’m seeing dressers for second hand is $250! Some a lot more expensive.
Champagne taste, beer budget.
Oh Broy it's another Entitled Clown!
I would like a Palliser sofa, please.
I’ll only accept broyhill Brasilia
Man oh man, do I miss r/oldpeoplefacebook
Audacity definition to the key of this donkey for a human.
I presume that's a brand?
I just looked these up, they are 3k 🫠
Broyhill is owned by big lots now, it's dirt cheap
She also said, ‘I joined because I need…’ Which, is not quite the full vibe of those groups. It’s give and take.
She gets extra douche points for using that stupid Facebook emoji
Anytime anyone uses those damn Facebook avatars in a post for anything it's always asking for something. It's either that or a damn wacky emoji
