Freecle / freecycle and balloons on sticks

Why?? If you don't know anything about rabbits, why rescue one?
I'm surprised it didn't eat a brand new Iphone.....

just rescued a giant rabbit indoor one,have been told a large dog cage is needed to stop said rabbit frying its self on cables as the little angel has just eaten a telephone so if anyone has one phone as well that would be great

Three posts on our Frteecycle today, all from the same person

"Freezer reasonable condition required."

"Small fridge required"

"Gas cooker required"

That's it, that is all she says. Not a "please", not an "I'd be grateful", and no information about whether she can collect - I think I can guess the answer to that.

Why do people think they can just DEMAND stuff ??

answer to that.

Just because they ask for it doesn't mean they get it - I suspect the success rate for this type of "request" is very low.

None of these 'wants' really belong on FC..

wanted please, large trailer to move a18ft boat please (xxxxxx)
wanted please, a trailer really needs to be a twin axle. cos of the weight. even
if its just to borrow on saturday. have to collect a boat from sunderland.

Why buy a boat if you cannot afford to hire a trailer?

Wanted - Water Butts - xxxxx
I need at least 2 water butts, must to collect this weekend as I need to fill
them with water from the swimming pool in our garden which is being drained on Monday (I dont intend to save all the water, if I could I would!)
...perhaps I should offer free pool water!

What on earth could be done with secondhand pool water?

WANTED: Needed Worktop and Air Compressor Please, xxxxxxxxx
Worktop and Air Compressor
Needed please to finish workshop
please Air compressor that will run at 115 psi and around 10cfm

Working air compressors, twin axel trailers and water butts are rarely sent to landfill. I know that if you don't ask, you don't get, but the above are turning FC into an insanely greedy wishlist.

I suspect in this case 'rescued' means 'got from mate who was bored with it'. A decent rescue would've made sure s/he knew how to keep the animal safe. Still, at least it's not 'OFFERED: Giant rabbit needs new home as I can no longer afford to buy phones for it to eat'...

Hi, I am looking for any kind of baby stuff as I am expecting and I
know how expensive things are. If anyone has any stuff I would
appreciate the help.

Was this an example from your Freecycle or are you making a request?

Please help
I have had my old car for years, but since the the rescission I could not afford to repair it any more and had to scrap it. But I am feeling like a useless granddad, as I cant take any of my six
grandchildren out anywhere now. If you have a car that is road worthy please let me no.
many many thanks

Most people on my Freecycle want bicycles, musical instruments and garden furniture but this one made me smile:

Dear All,

I am very much in need of a Laser Hair Comb for hair loss PLEASE, as I would love to begin treatment, but unable to afford it.
I highly appreciate any help you can give me. Can collect.

Thank you All!


Kindest Regards,

LOL! Coz the rest of us haven't been affected by the 'rescission' at all so have plenty of free cars to give away!! :T

I only use it when I cant sell my stuff on ebay, always get the rude ones who just send messages saying "when can i collect?"
Was getting rid of a baby bouncer in very good condition (could prob have sold on ebay but need rid of it asap), agreed on someone to collect the next day and they didnt show, text to ask if they still wanted or should i give to someone else, they replied they still wanted and would collect the following day. Again a no show, and no text or call so I gave it to a local toddler group instead.

also had people collect baby items then just say "got anything else, i need a buggy" not even a please.

and just to continue with everyone else, this is a recent post on my freecycle:

Wanted: Fish tank air pump and heater
I am after one or both, as my fish keep on dying and these two extras should
sort out the ick.
