While browsing through the wanted and offered items in my yahoo inbox, I see that someone says, Offered: Tile roofing and then about a coulple of layers lower someone else say, Wanted: Tile roofing. I thought this is funny. Why don't they check first and then submit their post. Are you a freecycler too? Don't you just love it?

But isn't there a moderator that screens all posts? I don't understand why such things are able to permeate the site. Oh well, probably they also thought it was funny. :-)

Wow, that was really sweet. Good for you. It's a nice way to get rid of something you don't want anymore.

Yes I use FREECYCLE all the time and I love it, it comes in handy for getting items that we can not afford to buy just at the moment, we got a recliner that you could not tell it was not new. It is a god way to clean out your closets if you don't like to run yard sales, you offer and someone will come to get it, no matter what it is. I laugh at some of the wanted on there, people asking for high priced items, and some that make it clear that they want good items don't send them any junk from the dollar store, they way I see if when you begging you take what is offered and be happy some one was willing to give it up. One woman wrote she would only take clothes from the top expensive stores in town for her and her kids, if you got to beg for clothes online then you take what you get. I had a pair of birds and I freecyled them, it is hard to choose who gets them, I think I had 35 responses for them. My washer is on it's last leg and I am looking for one now. It is just fun I think to look at what some are offering each day.

That's really strange. I didn't see that post about a woman who only accepts highly signatured clothes. It's quite demanding.. I have my first loot, a computer desk and I'm very happy about it.
