Freecle / freecycle and balloons on sticks

Seen on our Freecycle today:

WANTED: Saxaphone for student. Hi guys my daughter wants to learn the sax just wondering if anyone is kind enough - we are very limited on funds

My first reaction: if you're that short on funds then perhaps you should lower your daughter's expectations somewhat

My second reaction - to his email address: [EMAIL="goodforalaugh@xxxx.com"]goodforalaugh@xxxx.com[/EMAIL] - tempted to suggest that he change it to [EMAIL="yourehavingalaugh@xxx.com"]yourehavingalaugh@xxx.com[/EMAIL]

Wanted: Digeridoo
Does anyone have a Digeridoo lying about that they want to get rid of? My daughter wants one. Thanks


thought it was a little random and funny

I don't know, I mean what if someone does want to get rid of their expensive electrical equipment? How good would it be if you did get a response for the xbox you need?

I can see the attraction...

I saw that one as well, what are the odds of someone having a digeridoo lying around?

On another note, I've listed some items on freecycle today, apart from the usual 'I can collect your item' I've had one demand for my address and phone number and one person asking if I can post a bulky item!

is asking for a mp3 player any type even those old 128mb ones from the mid 2000s too much for a ask as i posted one and was told im asking for expensive goods

I have an old mp3 128mb laying around, I paid £30 and never used it. Ive lost the cable to connect it to the computer but other than that its still in original box, and found I cant give it away now.

Surely though the endless stream of washers/fridges/wardrobes/beds etc etc should also be told the same thing

Ironically though the smaller ones is something people will probably still have kicking around, I upgraded my mp3 player at christmas because the car has a mp3 port and I wanted to be able to get more tracks on it, so the old one just sits there (though I keep meaning to fill it up with the kids cd's)

Someone is surely more likely to have a spare mp3 player then a washing machine
