Freecycle email etiquette?
For those familiar with Freecycle, do you need to get back to everyone that emails you?
I just started using it today and got a ton of responses for everything I listed. All items have someone in line to pick it up but I feel bad about not emailing back the other people. I have emailed the next folks in line that if the pick up falls through I'll email them.
It seems our moderator doesn't okay posts super quick so it takes some time before my Pending/Taken post goes up letting people know someone has dibbed it up.
But in a mini gloat, I have people to pick up a microwave, plant stand, electric wok, and cake caddy. Soooo happy!
Re: Freecycle email etiquette?
I love getting rid of stuff via Freecycle! I started out trying to email everyone back, but sometimes there are too many inquiries to make that reasonable. When we moved, I found that we got a lot more no shows, so I keep a lot of back ups available.
I do make sure I respond to everyone who asks for something after the Taken post goes out, on the assumption that they missed it. But I know I haven't gotten responses for things that I've replied to, so I don't think it's the standard.
Happy Freecycling!
Freecycle is a Yahoo group you join and you post a listing for something you want to give away for free. The person shows up, they take it, it's great.
And if you're not home just leave it on your porch; come home and it's gone.
I have a few things on Craigslist b/c DH wanted me to try to get some money for them, but holy cow are the people who emailed me whackadoos, picky-pusses, flakes, or spam. I think I'm going to pull my listings and put that stuff on Freecycle.
It seems the people on Freecycle are genuinely appreciative and follow through when they say they're going to pick things up. Maybe because you have to join and there are rules (basic courtesy stuff) people have thier act together more.
