    Think they only let you do more than that if they get really desperate and no one else does them when it's almost the deadline. Email the allocator. PS. Are you really doing these for the fee they offer?

    I figured the calls would come out of my free minutes, and I'll do it while I'm at work, so it's just about pure profit :D

    Couldn't agree more.

    I have done 42 of these in the past, including some last minute/ enhanced jobs. I won't touch any this time round, and they will probably be hard for them to shift. Hopefully by next time they will be more sensible and all will be back out of rotational restrictions.

    Used to enjoy a nice day out in the country collecting eggs.


    Haven't touched any either in our area, but they seem to have vanished in front of me.
    Guess other folks haven't sussed them out yet :D
    Was lovely to have met you & shared tips, look forward to seeing you & bryssn sometime in the near future.
    So who's taken the jobs then ?:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Bare phone reports are quite scandalous. I can remember doing phone calls for a car company. The fee was very little and the reports were very big! A bit like the REACT heating calls. I don't do phone calls for anyone anymore. Not worth it at all.

    SO .... have a lot of people dumped the eggs? I certainly have!

    I've self-assigned one purchase and three calls, and all are showing as assigned to me.

    The notes say you are only allowed to do one of these! I might have considered it if I could have done a few but for just one I don't think it's worth the effort (given the pathetic fee which will be even more pathetic once it's converted from euros!)

    What sort of jobs do bare do?

    Are they any good?

  • Anyone have any ideas when Bare would normally assign stuff to you if you can't self assign? Thanks!
