Freecle / freecycle and balloons on sticks

BatOutOfhell

Have really enjoyed reading this thread. I am really p'd off with our local Freecycle as folks round here seem to be uninterested in pretty much anything I offer (this has included Large TV, Digi Box, VHS Player, Baby Seat for a Bike, DIY materials plus lots more of very useful and usable items.)
This thread though has made me smile.
Where else could I send the TV & Digi Box?

Having had 3 failed collections on a Sky box I ended up putting it in the front garden by the gate on the Drive with a note saying 'please help yourself' and it was gone in 10 minutes.

Just..... seriously? I guess at least they didn't specify a colour or expect delivery..

'Has anyone got a car that is working that at least has 3 months MOT that they are giving away. I need one to get to and from my shifts.'

Our local group seems quite good.

I just posted my first offer on Freecycle and have been inundated with replies.

I was just wondering if anyone has offered anything how did you choose who to give your item to? I am going to give it to a charity but there are at least 10 of those and most are offering to collect. How shall I choose the most deserving recipient?

If you want to be really sure you're giving to charity and not a 'charity', ask for their official charity number

When I post offered items, anyone who just says 'I'll have it' or 'when can I pick up' gets deleted, and I hate text speak and really bad spelling (no excuse, that's what spell checker is there for!) so can't bring myself to read those emails, let alone respond. Generally, if someone asks nicely without a huge sob story, and can collect or is on OH's way home, I'll offer it to them
