Six of them from the same person spread over the whole afternoon?
Not a very competent dealer if so!

I think some people just log on and reply to every post. If they do it several times a day, some posts will get multiple replies.

Type WANTED
Subject 2 seater sofa bed, good condition, to match black and white room
Description WANTED - a fully working 2 seater sofa bed in good condition which will match well with a black and white room, preferably black, grey, or red, or another bold colour. Can pick up immediately. Contact: REDACTED@AnEmailSite.com with photos.

Not sure what I find most greedy:

1. The exactness of the want - working good condition/specific colour
2. They want photos to be sent

And jam on it as well?

Listed my old cooker on my local freecycle board. I've had 141 responses in 2 days, but only 3 with any kind of coherance. Plenty of how big is it (put the measurements in the description of the ad), what colour is it (again in the ad), and can I deliver (stated collection only on the advert). Worst one was "iv seen your ad 4 a bbq, im coming now 2 collect".

1. I haven't got a barbecue.
2. You have no idea where I live.
3. AAAARGGHHH! I'm not a grammar nazi but at least try with the English Language!

I've offered it to a polite person who is hopefully coming to collect it. I think thats the last time I will offer anything on freecycle, the amount of idiots on there.
Rant over!

Today's list had someone asking for a monitor so they could keep their laptop going after the screen packed up.

Only a flatscreen monitor will do, mind you ...

From our Freegle today:

I am looking for baby/toddler items any toys clothes ect please also any ladies/mens clothing that people have as i am due to fly to a less poor country and would like to give them some items. Thank you

While I appreciate the sentiment if they are 'flying to a less poor country' why do they need to take anything? Other way around, surely?:rotfl::rotfl:
