What's the deal with selling wedding gifts we don't need or use?

I reckon once someone gives you something, it's yours to do with as you wish. You can keep something for sentimental reasons but if you don't want to, you shouldn't have to. Especially if they're appliances or something generic like that, coz really, I think anyone would be hard-pressed to place too much sentimental value on a fake Rolex.

And if you're moving, surely you don't want to move stuff you just wouldn't use anyway, right? I don't think anyone would begrudge you that!

If it was my ex-sil, then yes, she would begrudge it (talking from experience here). So just be prepared to have an excuse, moving is an ideal one, a box got lost, dropped etc
