Our scout troop does the popcorn thing, which I agree are overpriced and not really worth it even if they were underpriced. Our family doesn't sell for the same reason we don't do school fundraiers. DH can't take it to work & we can't go door to door since the nearest door is a quarter mile away. If the timing is right I'll offer some to my bunco group & maybe get two sales. So we donate cash.
The troop also does sales at a couple local festivals. They sold bottled water & birdhouses at the summer street fair & we all took an hour manning the booth. I'm perfectly willing to contribute time or baked goods to them. But I'm not going to complicate my life trying to sell stuff I don't think is worth the cost.
