I used to be on freecycle, I got a few things but I gave more things away. What I observed that some people must permanently sit on their computers because whenever I advertised anything, within a few seconds I received a reply "Yes please" regardless of what I was advertising.

I now give unwanted things to a charity shop, that way I get rid of something and the charity shop can sell it and raise some money.

To those who can't understand why I'm upset on the freecycal add I put it must not be resold I maid both promises that what ever happens or what ever they did to it it was to be past on not resold. It sporrans she's given birth to more kids since she got it. One reply the did fix the damp the next they say they didn't lol and if they broke window catches then replacing them is not an issue they were all fine when left.   The rule of freecycal are things must not be resold plus I stated it on the add also as well as telling them to there face so 3 instances they have broken rules or there word.
   I won't be putting anything on freecycal again as apparently I should only put crap on there that's fit for the bump or becomes I'm too lazy to sell stuff. Just shows what people are like from a few of the replys on here.
    Well someone's bid on the van I just hope they can sort the damp out wish they had been honest about it in the add.
I hate lyres and users theirs you do for others the more they walk all over you. Won't be doing anything again

I'm afraid some folk are like that Fallenangel. We did a similar thing with ALL of our baby stuff when a mother close to us here was expecting and had no money. We gave them everything from our attic which was all very good quality stuff. After she had the baby my wife saw her pushing a new buggy along and asked a neighbour about it. She was told this lady bragged about our stuff being given to her and that she'd sold it all to pay for her new bits and pieces. 

I'm afraid you have to put it down to where it comes from and let them get on with it. We just took it on the chin and put it down to experience. Everything we get rid of now either goes on Ebay, to a local auction centre or to the tip!!
