I ended up putting a cardboard box in front of the front door of my house with a sign that said "Please feel free to take it home," put about 10 paintings inside for now, and covered it with a blue tarp as a sunshade. So I was in an air-conditioned room.
I then announced the event to Jimottee as a "Feel free to take it home" event.
I decided that today's meeting would be from 7:00 to 12:00 for our convenience.
Then we received two inquiries, so we responded to them, and it seemed that they came to pick them up.
In the end, 6 cards were taken by someone.
I heard that nowadays Zimoty doesn't get many inquiries when they charge a fee, but they get many inquiries when they make it free.
I wonder if it was a good idea to dispose of them in this way, but they took a lot of them, so I guess it was a good thing. It is better than throwing them away. They were all paintings that just couldn't be sold at exhibitions such as solo shows.
I think I can get rid of about 50 of them by the end of August.

結局自宅の玄関前に「ご自由にお持ち帰りください」と書いたダンボール箱を置き、中にとりあえず絵を10枚くらい入れて、日除けがわりにブルーシートをかぶせました。それで私はエアコンの効いている部屋にいました。
そしてジモティーに「ご自由にお持ち帰りくださいの会」として告知しました。
今日はこちらの都合で7:00〜12:00としました。
すると問い合わせが2件あったので対応すると、取りに来たようでした。
最終的に6枚、どなたかが持っていったようでした。
今のジモティーは有料にするとなかなか問い合わせがこず、無料にするとたくさん問い合わせがくるそうです。
こんなやり方で処分してよかったのかなという思いはありますが、たくさん持っていってくれたしよかったのかなと思います。捨てるよりはマシと思います。個展など展覧会ではどうしても売れなかった絵ばかりなので。
これなら8月中にたくさん処分できるかなと思います。
