Dumpster sells

I decided to do dumpster diving for the first time. I know I'm late to the party. My question is why can't we sell stuff on the selling table we find in the dumpster. I keep getting the item to big pop ups. Also tried to put soy beans on the table I got from a community plant and they wouldn't even go on the table. I thought we could sell harvestables. Can we only sell them if we grow them ourselves? Maybe I got a little flustered and gave up too quickly. Also what's good about being a freegan if all the items can only be replaced for full money. Am I missing something. I can't fix the burnt items without the vacuum thing or magic?

    There's an open bug report for this problem.

    @cherry022806 Can you try placing the items into your household inventory, then trying to sell them?

    That's actually a really good idea, @KyreRoen. I've had items that weren't properly registering as "owned" by a sim where doing that corrected the issue.

    Yeah, I've had that issue, and specifically with the sales table and storage box. Placing items into the household inventory (or just the storage item with the affected items inside) fixed it all for me.

    You can only sell on the table small items that go into inventory. You need to transfer the objects you wish to sell from your inventory into the table's inventory then put them up for sale. You need the vacuum thing to sell the burnt items.

    Ok. I've used the table before I know how it works. I've sold items on the table before that
    Won't sell now and the only difference is finding them in the dumpster. Like frogs and things. Can people sell small dumpster finds on the table and it was a glitch in my game?

    Once you find them and add them to your inventory the objects are yours, it doesn't matter how you came to posses them. As far as I know it's not possible to sell items if you just place them on the table, they have to go into table inventory first. Also, it's not possible to stock a table if it was already claimed by some other sim. You cannot sell the big furniture items and fridges and stoves on the table, but small inventory items should be no problem, including frogs and harvestables.

    I stopped being able to sell certain things on any tables, not just dumpster tables, a few months ago. I can't even sell things I collected through the archaeology skill at the table, even though that pack came with a table to sell them.

    I don't use any mods, so it's probably a glitch.
