What’s your protocol regarding ‘expensive’ gifts (anything over $200). If the gift receiver no longer wants or needs it, does it go back to the giver, or can the receiver sell it or give it to someone else?

    It’s kind of dodgy selling something that you were given, without prior arrangement. Obviously it’s legal but that’s not what you’re asking, I think.

    I recently gave someone a leftover, non-driveable car worth maybe $2K on the basis that he liked the car and he wanted to get it running and drive it. But to bypass potential awkwardness if the repair project didn’t work out, I explicitly told him that it was fine with me if he sold it and kept the money. That seemed like a good way to handle it.

    I’ve received a few smaller gift items from people online. I wouldn’t sell them but could see regifting them.
