I'm not sure how freecycle works but first come first serve usually works best in any situation.


myLot reputation of 68/100. LoudnProud (6249)  4 years ago

Yeh i guess that is a good theory but no easy to do.

How do you decide? The one who pays for them gets them, that's an easy decision to make. The unemployed guy, why would he bother wanting something he can't afford?


myLot reputation of 68/100. LoudnProud (6249)  4 years ago

Fiddle free cycle is a site for people who offer items for FREE
So that wont work LoL thumbup


myLot reputation of 97/100. gitfiddleplayer (6410)   ranked 294 out of 26,920 in people  4 years ago

Oh, sorry, I guess I didn't know about it. Well then, give the guy who's unemployed the stuff and ask him to do something for somebody who needs it. Pay it forward.


myLot reputation of 68/100. LoudnProud (6249)  4 years ago

Yeh i suppose i could fiddle..will see how many more responses i get eh thumbup

I would put their names on a piece of paper and but them in a bag. i would pick one of the papers. The winners takes it all. Or otherwise I will distribute things between them.


myLot reputation of 68/100. LoudnProud (6249)  4 years ago

Yeh i will wait & see who else asks then decide,but that does seem a good idea Ron.
I get myself in such a state LoL. Bring most of it on myself thumbup

I think most people just choose the first person that responded and then if that don't work out for whatever reason they move on down the list. I have often seen something that I would like to have or in some cases desperately needed only to find out that it had already been given away. Sometimes it is given away even before the email shows up in my email box so I think the moderators in this chapter of freecycle have favorites that they let know of something first before the rest of the group. Where I lived before the group had a 24hr rule that you couldn't choose a recipient until the posting was 24 hours old. I think this chapter needs to adopt that rule.


myLot reputation of 68/100. LoudnProud (6249)  4 years ago

Yeh that could be it Savak.On the one i use there seem to be regulars who will take anything.I look out for there names as i think they my be selling it on..ya know ?
Then there are the oes who give sob stories..One time i had put on jeans that had belonged to my son. Never worn & priced at around £4o each. A lady contacted me & said could she have them for her brother as he had just split from his wife & had nothing.When she came to my door & repeated the same thing.I am like wow..no need fur ..fell sorry fur stories..she was getting the stuff anyway haha lol
Anyway these items i am giving away now except the car stereo..goodness knows where that came from i aint ever had a renault LOL lol..sorry where was i..oh yeh they were my sons,mibby i should ask him who is to get them w00t


myLot reputation of 98/100. savak03 (2657)   ranked 3,454 out of 26,920 in people  4 years ago

There seems to be a lot of different rules that each chapter sets up for themselves. The one I was in down south stipulated that you couldn't ask for stuff to resell although I'm sure some people did. Most of the time when someone offered something there in a box lot they would stipulate that you should freecycle anything you didn't want.

Both there and here they have a no sob story rule. Maybe your chapter needs that one.lol

I don't know, but maybe I need them more than the others do.. I am poor with 10 kids to feed and the pswhatever quit working and so on and so forth.. It will be hard to figure out which one to give it to because so many people will lie just to get something free.. I wish there was a way to figure out who to give something to without giving it to someone who is just being greedy.. It would be great to know that it went to a deserving kid who couldn't afford the game on his on, but you never know.. I have a booth at a local flea market and when I come across someone who is sincere and really can't afford something, I will give it to them, but I have to know in my heart that they are not trying to cheat me, as so many people will.. Good luck whichever way you go, maybe you are just to good for your own good..


myLot reputation of 68/100. LoudnProud (6249)  4 years ago

Yeh well i have had about 20 more emails about the items Donna.So i have left it till
monday,cant be doing with reading it all.One person said they wanted everything & if i ever have anymore items they will take them too.w00t
You have a booth..wow neat.what ya sell ? thumbup


myLot reputation of 97/100. DonnaLawson (2806)   ranked 4,553 out of 26,920 in people  4 years ago

I sell junk, but good junk.. I sell a lot of higher priced perfumes and purses, but even with the economy as it is now, the purses sell very well.. I sell anything that I can get my hands on but it has to be good quality items.. I refurbish, re-do and rescue many items to make them like new and to get a better resell value.. I love doing it but it is so slow now with everyone having money problems.. It isn't near as much fun as it used to be but it is still a great way to make an extra dollar or two and it keeps me and my husband from killing each other after being cooped up together all the time..

People will try and cheat you but, you have done your good deed for the day and it really doesn't matter what they do with it, you have done your good deed..

I know how hard it is to chose someone having put lots of stuff on Freecycle myself about two weeks ago.
I was so sick of looking at the stuff that i done most of it on a first come first serve basis.
But i refuse to give to anyone who emails with a phone number expecting me to ring them, why should i put myself out, if they want the item they can ring or email me.
There is one group in my area that does have what they call FOP (fair offer policy)which means that you give it 24 hours before you decide who to give it to.
That way it gives everyone a chance to request the item.
Another person who takes in laptops/computers to repair then freecycles them on. He will take the first ten names put them in a hat and pull one out. That person will be the one who then receives the laptop or computer.


myLot reputation of 68/100. LoudnProud (6249)  4 years ago

Yeh i had a few give phone numbers,asking me if i would text them & keep items till they were next over my way..eh NO..i ignored them,one less to deal with.
Thats a a good idea about the computers littleone.
I think i will wait till Monday then decide who gets the items.
The again i might just put them all in a charity shop happy
