    Default FreeCycle Vent

    I want to start by saying i have really enjoyed this program and will continue to use it. I have been able to give away alot of stuff, and have also been lucky to get someof the things we have needed.

    Today I posted some things i am offering. And someone replied that they are interested and for me to bring them to their house for them to look over before making a decision. Um...no. First of all..no. Second I couldn't even if i did feel comfortable (belly is in the way of the steering wheel and if i move the seat back i can't reach the pedals. Put the seat forward and move up the wheel and it is still too tight against my belly)


    anyhow, that irked me. sigh

    ok, vent over.

    That is unbelievable of that person! Just don't bother to answer and the next person (hopefully more polite and thankful) will take them off your hands.

    We have freecycle here and most things I post are gone in minutes. I think there are people who do it for a living around here and resell. On the other hand, getting anything posted is impossible here.

    I do freecycle and some of the emails are rediculous!! THAT ONE IS!!! I wouldn't even respond!! People are very rude and the WANTED posts overwhelm our boards...but I stay on, because I have been SO blessed by the things I have gotten!

    Sorry that someone was so rude!!! I can't believe someone would demand that!!

    That is just crazy! LOL! I am getting frustrated with freecycle here because everything I post is gone fast, but I never seem to get in on anything. And, there are some things that would really help us - oh well.

    Our freecycle here has went to the Barter system.
    I have stopped using it. If I had the smarts I'd start my own
    freecycle.
    They have decided to call them selves freebees and barter( or something like that )
