Well, it actually does save me time and money since I pay per kilobyte downloaded When multiplied by thousands of subscribers it probably has an environmental effect too :rotfl:

Yes - I see you're promoting your website in a FREECYCLE thread :rolleyes:

Well, a few have been offered in the last few days:

I think the playstation is pretty old now. I got mine 2nd hand from loot. A lot of my friends who are hardcore gamers tend to upgrade quite often so do get rid of 'old' stuff quite regularly.

if someone wants one for there kids fair enough, but i disagree with posting wanteds for things that are obviously going to be sold on.

I also prefer them to go to somebody who genuinely wants one rather than just having them sold on. But if not, I think it's probably better to get them and have them sold on rather than have them put into a landfill.

The rules of my freecycle group (and this is a FREECYCLE thread) state

"If you are an EBay seller, thrift store owner, or a reseller of any kind, FULL DISCLOSURE OF YOUR
INTENTION TO SELL ITEMS RECEIVED FROM FREECYCLE MEMBERS IS REQUIRED UP FRONT. You MUST disclose your intent
to sell either in your original Wanted post or when responding so the gifter can make an informed decision
with all the details and facts. Members have the right to inquire as to the intended use of any item they offer"

Sounds like useless Mods who don't know/don't care about the rules :mad:
It's all put me off giving anything away on Freecycle in future. If I don't need it, I'm going to sell it in future, or give it to a Charity Shop. The greedy and unscrupulous out there are just spoiling it for everyone else.

Wanted - books
We are collecting books for our Book Fair to be held to raise funds
for the purchase of Microchip Scanners for independent animal rescuers.

On Wednesday afternoon I shall be collecting some books in the xxxx
area. If anyone has any books I can relieve them of, please get in touch
asap.

Thankyou

Been e-mailing with this poster on my freecycle group. I took a look at her website and they clearly work hard to raise money for pet rescue. I'm delighted to be able to let her have a box of old paperbacks to sell - had been planning to give them to a Charity Shop, but as she's kindly collecting them it saves me time and petrol (and the environmnent!)
