Freecycle. They said please so they got the item.

    If peeps don't want a trader to make a profit , then sell it yourself.

    Ken,
    You are missing the point; people do not place items on freecycle to be sold.

    I don't want to sell items myself, but I want them to go to someone to use themselves.

    As stated above, it is the deception of traders that angers people.

    My local Freecycle owner doesn't have this rule, and where the rule is in place in other areas, it doesn't follow the members approve or agree. At least collection costs should be re-imbursed.The need to get rid of the item is paramount with most people, especially with my type of freecycle.
    What if someone lost their job because of Freecycle, or the new Skills Exchange System. Goods free, labour free.
    What then. On the dole. Sorry luv, everything free nowadays, you can work but you won't get paid.
