Re: strangest thing offered on freecycle
 

yeah dunno why theres 5 pics of teh same house lol

Re: strangest thing offered on freecycle
 

I have seen it all, and heard of even worse.

When people post a "wanted bike for a small boy" I have to wonder if it's a good swap, you don't have to feed a bike :D

some things make people go Eeewwwwww, like ofers of used breast pumps etc :D

As for the pallet, I wondered if it was posted by someone that has been on another group that required an offer to be the first post?
So they made this one?

Mind you, someone with a wood burning stove that lives nearby might welcome the pallet.

I thought it was you that asked for the egg Flashy? :tongueout :D :D
If someone want's to waste a wanted who are we to stop them, I credit the Freecycle members with enough intelligence to laugh & ignore posts like that.

Re: strangest thing offered on freecycle
 

No what I meant was...

(and I'm not wanting to hijack the thread here).

It's a little complicated./insider information here :D

IMO Despite what the press keep saying, Freecycle is not designed to be a place where people can go and post wanteds for stuff all the time.
(And I'm not having a go at you or saying you do that).

IMO The idea of Freecycle is that people use it to offer stuff to others rather than send it to landfill, in parallel with this we also allow our members to ask for stuff, however as many see Freecycle just as a place to get free stuff & never offer anything we have to limit the number of wanteds (without offering) to protect our already generous members who do offer.

On our local groups this is a limit of 3 wanteds per 30 days.

If a local member makes more than 3 genuine offers then they also get to ask for stuff in line with the number of offers, as long as it's not getting too high.

So I.E. if a local member offers 5 things they can also ask for 5 things in that same month.
(Assuming that they are offering 5 real things & not making false offers)(we can & do check this) - there is a higher limit but I'm not letting you know what it is :D

It is because of the total @rsewipe called "My Freecycle" (beta) that we let Blackburn borough members post because it is currently hard for us to check for crossposting or previous posting etc.

But then your not a local member of the Hyndburn group, you actually live within another groups boundaries and members from outside Hyndburn are allowed upto 3 wanteds as a courtesy, no more, irrespective of offers as they are generally cross posts & should be taken up from within their own area.

So basically, your stuffed & have to wait :D :D :tongueout :D :D

Re: strangest thing offered on freecycle
 

Well I saw two kids slides on there, the other day, only thing was they had no frames or ladders. :D. Don't know if that's strange enough lol!

Re: strangest thing offered on freecycle
 

People are always after pallets for something or other. Made a fence out of some a few years back.
Put a wanted on for an extra large one for under a shed and got it...delivered by a nice friendly local fireman, no less. :):mosher:
