Freecycle (Merged Thread)

katiesmummy

i am a bit annoyed with my freecycle right now.

i offered a whole shedload of stuff on friday, had loads of replies, and only one lady has bothered to come and collect what she asked for. i have another lady hopefully coming tomorrow evening as well.
i offered one of the items to one bloke on friday and didnt hear back from him, so this morning i sent an email stating that as i hadn't heard from him i was offering the item to the next person. i had an email within 5 minutes- funny that! still not giving it to him- if he cant be bothered to reply to my first email why should i?
also had a lady ask to take everything i was offering (a right mish-mash of stuff- old hoover, books, baby stuff, cuddly rottweiler) and i was suspicious that she was asking for everything to ebay/boot sale it so i emailed her. her reply was- i have 2 kids am pregnant with my 3rd, i have just moved and i have nothing except a computer. if you know anyone who is getting rid of any furniture i would like that too please.

hmmmm, bit suspicious of that one!

we do get people asking for things that you know wont be available- computers with flat screen only as no space for a big one, xbox 360's, one lady was asking for furnishings for her entire house lol

the only wanted message i have ever posted was for a buggy board for my friend- and i didnt get one unfortunately

Well that's nice of you as the whole idea of freecycle is that the giftee collects

TV wanted for playing video games, working scart socket, and an nice
size would be perfect. If you can deliver that would help as I have no
car. My 15 year old, 14" JVC TV died 2 months ago.

would you like it plasma and HD ready ??

Let me know when it's convenient for me to deliver it , oh and if you leave the keys under the welcome mat you wont even need to get off your !!! - I'll just let myself in and install it for you - would that be OK for you ? :rolleyes:

LMFAO :T , Hiya Jman :cool:
Only if you can install it without them having to turn the old on off...otherwise you will have to go around at a time when their favourite gameshow isn't on.

How about this one?
