I love my Freecycle!

This is the most wonderful time of the year!  For freecycle-

Yesterday I picked up a swim trainer vest thing that DD's swim teacher recc'd - of course she took lessons in August and by then none of the stores were still carrying them.   There were actually 2 of them, so I passed one along to my friend who has 2 toddlers.  Then I got a Mr. Coffee Jr. (makes 4 cups) for DH to have in his office.  He doesn't like the coffee in the big office machine and I think those Keurig's are wasteful.

Today I scored a Little Tykes clubhouse swing set. 

Now I post some things to keep the good karma going.

Re: I love my Freecycle!

  • I've never actually gotten anything off Freecycle, only given away.  And right now I'm annoyed because I posted the basketball goal in our yard, and 3 people responded... then none followed through.  If you don't really want it, then don't email me!!!

    Yeah- I know this happens a lot and it's annoying.  I always wait for quite a few responses to come in and then base who I give something to on who wrote the nicest and most planned/organized pick-up (like if it's for a large item, they mention the vehicle they will bring if they need to borrow it, or bringing a friend/spouse to help lift, etc.)  

    I definitely think there are people out there who will reply to posts thinking they will take anything.

    Ugh, that drives me crazy.  Someone did that to me and then had the nerve to responded later to another thing I posted.  I totally called her out on it and told her no.  hehe.
