I know i say this sooo often but that's me done with offering stuff (unless its objects i would struggle to dispose of).".

You and me both sister :rotfl:

Last weekend I offered my daughter's bed, first reply comes from Miss Politeness, who can collect at any time etc etc. I decide to search her username as suggested on here recently. Turns out Miss Politeness has posted 160(!) wanted ads in the past four years, including asks for; a car (manual), a trailer, a motorbike, 4 quad bikes (one for each of her kids), a telly, an Xbox 360, a guitar (with amp) and several name-brand prams. She's offered a bag of clothing, once.

Next reply comes from Little Miss Desperate For a Bed. I say she can have it, at which point she asks for a photo so she can "see the size". I state that it's been dismantled, but humour her by measuring & sending the bed dimensions. She then replies "oh no that's too big" (??). Clearly Little Miss Desperate For A Bed didn't want to come and get one sight unseen (which is her own loss as it was gorgeous & in perfect condition). Thankfully the person who actually came for it was lovely & most pleased with it.

Fast forward to the same evening, I list a pair of Ugg boots which my daughter has outgrown, Little Miss Desperate For A Bed emails almost immediately to say... "that would be great thanks"(!!), then emails again two minutes later to ask "wot size are they btw?".

I think Freecycle is such a great idea but I am beyond fed up with the cheeky, grasping swines that infest the place.

listed a [sealed] tub of protein powder (i can't use it because i'm newly lactose intolerant)

get a message through within minutes 'that's mine yea. what else you got for me?'

taken aback, i didn't reply for a couple of hours whilst i waited for other replies (if they were any politer, they got it).

i eventually did get a much nicer reply and the guy called for it (and gave me a tenner as he felt bad taking it for free). person A emails again 'when can i get my protein?'. i emailed to say it'd gone already, to get a reply that nearly knocked me over:

'nah mate, i emailed before. i've got a buyer on ebay, you better get it back or im gna have to refund it'

bowled over, i replied and told him where he can shove his ebay and his buyer. he got nasty, but he'd have to get up early to beat me in an argument.

That's appalling. I'd be forwarding his emails to a mod - he needs banning.

amongst other things, he threatened me with his 'mandem' (manchester scally slang for 'bunch of homosexuals posing as hardmen to disguise the fact they are all homosexuals') before i pointed out he doesn't know who i am or where i live.

i laughed it off

Good one today:

Wanted - A sunbed. Wanted good conditioned sunbed for self tanning.

Yup, I have one just lying in the back room doing nothing

The sun over the weekend seems to have brought out all the requests for garden toys, as well as the 'I'm still looking' repeated threads

yep and I'm still not letting you have the ones from my garden cos I need them :rotfl:

Though I am very grateful for the outdoor baby swing (offered) that I collected at the weekend :j

brettcta, yours must take the award for worse freecycler ever.
I hope that you've reported him, I know that won't stop him from re-registering with a different email address.
That could have really frightened some people.

ditto - he needs reporting. The police really outta be getting involved when it comes to threatening someone like that.

I gave the books to the first person in the end who collected on monday.... but not after she sent a very sarcastic reply of "I will be there bang on 10 o'clock"....... neadless to say she was late.


I had to laugh at a wanted on a different board over the weekend:

Wanted carpet 10ft x 5ft ish, woven back plz

I helpfully suggested if they had no luck a large carpet chain was selling huge offcuts for just £10.

the reply:

Thanks for that, but it's for the garden :-)

Apparently there are 2 different types of carpet you can buy? silly me.
