Giving to Freecycle

Just put up my scroll saw, too many problems to sell it.

The first response always gives them their number and asks you to ring them.

 

I have given away a few things on Freecycle , no real problems with the items being collected. When someone is calling I always stipulate a time saying I am in from 5 to 7 pm only for collection, then I am not hanging around.
Some times when I have sold small items on Ebay , I often had someone from the London area buying it , even though I made my location and motorway exit very clear. I had to explain to them do you really want to travel 200miles up the motorways for a £20 TV set !

 

I would only give away what I was happy to receive, re the tele still nobody interested, so will probably put it back on top of freezer as too good to dump, with the winter coming I may put it on if working in the kitchen.

 

If reading this right Jane, they want you to ring them, sounds like a dealer.

 

Hi shiney, did you pick up the picture frames then or politely decline?

I haven't been the recipient of any free items yet but I did wonder what the "form" was if you go along to look at something and decide it isn't for you after all, is that fair enough, no harm done?
