While I do understand how the OP feels - I know I would if it was me, (but only if they got a lot for it) and you would if you use Freecycle in the spirit of giving something to others who maybe can't afford to buy it. But I do tend to think that one of the main reasons why people use Freecycle is because they can't be bothered with the hassle of selling it themselves either on ebay or at a car boot sale. Once you have given it away, it is no longer yours and to put conditions on ownership is not very fair in my opinion.
I don't understand why you all feel so annoyed about a bit of entrepreneurship with people trying to make a bit of money out of others unwanted goods.
As to taking things to the tip rather than use Freecyle -well I suppose you are putting something back because the Council will recycle it and swell their coffers but how mean spirited is that, to deny someone something for free because you think they might sell it.    
Give it away and think no more about it or make the effort and sell it and then buy yourself something nice.

I don't think it wi bother them there that hard faced. Think I'm mad as well cos all candy needed was a patch of damp fixing and I'm sure we could have had a shower fitted yet the new van has been nothing but one problem after another we had 2 weekends booked we gave cancels cos she's got so many things needs sorting. Every time we help someone we get walked all over. I can not see why peopel don't help others

DISAGREE! Fallenangel gave this away as a kindess to these people, they are now trying to make money from it. Not only TELLING LIES TO Fallenangel BUT ALSO TELLING LIES in the advert by all accounts. THATS WHY I AM ANNOYED. I would ask them to return it if they no longer want it.

Hi sent a message to ask if awninig was also given to them via freecycal

no reply
