    there is a solution for that - vibe checks! if that person in front of you seems kind and like they actually need what you’re selling - give it to them for free. but if they’re just looking for deals to resell, keep the prices

      This is the kind of means-testing governments do for benefits, right? Or is it more like social profiling? You can sell what you want, but when you start to put rules in place it gets icky quite fast.

        i’m not recommending this method to governments though, am i?

        i recommend it for people who do garage sales once every few years who feel bad charging people for what they don’t need
