it never ceases to amaze me just how 'cheeky' some people can be when asking for things... of course; if you don't ask you won't get and on the other hand it is quite astounding just how much people can actually find on Freecycle and what people do give away, but this is a post that went out today. Most of the items I can understand; but the kettle bells, piano and bureau - hardly necessities to furnish a home I'd have though

But hey; good luck to them if they get it

And a chandelier and some crystal glasses :lol:

Seriously though, why not ask I suppose, it is amazing what some people give away

Do they want it delivered as well
I found freecycle very cheeky at times so I just ring cancer shop because they collect and are very quick and polite

I understand the disbelief, but I think the list will be met. It is not as though they are asking only one person to donate, :lol:

they are asking the community, and isn't that what Freecycle is supposed to be about.

What I disliked about it was the timewasters, both askers and donators. So many of the askers never turn up, and many of those donating are not in when you call round, as arranged. :evil:

I'm with Frank, it's the timewasters that are annoying, and they probably will get all those things as others will be wanting rid 8-)
