I gave up on Freecycle some time ago but was inspired by this thread to go and have another look. I found a new local group had formed and it seems much better than the original county-wide one.

One question though: I responded for the first time to something offered a few days ago and I haven't heard back yet, is it usual for offerers to wait a while to receive all responses or do you generally hear back promptly?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm new at this asking for things business!

Many people don't reply to unsuccessful applicants - chances are someone else has been chosen

rr_4fun - WANTED Please any boat parts - Cupar
I have had to take early retirement due to ill health and now have the
time on my hands to do my 13ft Day boat renovation, but alas not the
funds. Would be pleased of any spare boat parts, outboard, hand rails,
paint, lights, winches, fittings anything at all to help me on my way
will be happy to collect. Thanks

You could maybe have a word with him about this boat, if he's lucky he might get enough parts for 2 so you'd both be "sorted".

so would I be right in thinking all he has so far for his boat is a pair of boating shoes and a captain birdseye hat ?

LOL thanks Bones (tries desperately to resist a Star Trek Dr. Mcoy reference)

As I work all day by time I get in there's often quite a lot of posts in threads I've participated in (two in particular - this being one of them) and hence you tend to get quite a few posts from me responding LOL

So yes catching up - sorry if this is off putting/a pain for anyone

I have to say this thread has had me in stitches at times. I joined freecycle a few weeks ago and was, quite frankly, astonished after reading the rules and then seeing this flood of begging coming into my mailbox. I don't want to knock freecycle (for those touchy-feely types who are involved as mods :cheesy: - I know you put in a lot of hard work :T ) as I think it's a great idea in principle, however I feel that it's got a bit out of hand somwhat (at least in some areas).

Mind you this thread has made me see FC in a completely different light, I'm gonna start scouring my mails for the gems that come through in my area (and there have been a few).

hi northwalesd, post your finds on here and give us all a laugh.

OK this thread doesn't belong in the freebies section anymore, move it if you must but PLEASE don't kill it
