Freecle / freecycle and balloons on sticks

i have been listing some good quality items lately on ours - yet seem to get no requests what do i do just dump it or what - gets me a bit disheartened. I want to have a good clear out at home as want to live minimalistically but if no one wants my stuff what do i do ?

I get this often so either send to the charity shop or even offer it all as one lot

I'd try a charity shop, a lot will collect of there's a lot of stuff to go.

These 2 from the same guy...

I would like a variety of Original PS3 or Xbox consoles games &
Accessories if possible. I can come and collect it anytime

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has a smartphone they could spare, either
a Blackberry, Iphone or an Android.

*onlyme*

I offered 2 mountain bikes on our freecycle yesterday afternoon...

I had over 100 emails within a space of 2 hours...and there has to be a huge increase of bike thefts in our areas as the amount of people that needed the bikes I offered as theirs was stolen last week...

not to mention all the other sob stories...

Several people used different email addresses...copy/paste their reply....all with the same spelling mistakes.

It has it's uses but the original use of it has gone I think. I will start taking my stuff to the charity shop or tip instead.

You could always try listing it on Ebay for 1p and see what happens-the advantage of that over Freecycle is that you'll find somebody who genuinely wants it and is looking for it, rather than asks for it because it's free and then messes you about.

it seems camping season is starting again

why do people book camping holidays and then the week before beg for camping stuff as they suddenly remembered they need a tent to go camping

Those posts are like the year 2000 equivalent of spotting the first swallow to confiurm summer's on the way though... first "we've booked this amazing camping holiday to get over the tragic death of our gerbil's left nipple this year - anyone got a tent we can have must be able to deliver"s of the year.

Summer's fully confirmed when you get the 20 demands for a greenhouse or garden shed.

Wish they'd crack down on the spamming that's going on our group - people posting the same wanted day after day after day (sometimes copy-paste, sometimes getting increasingly arsey)... the riot act has been read soundly about the rude crew and no-show brigade so hopefully progress will be made.
