Freecycle Frustrations

| 0 comments

Over the last year or so, I have posted several times about the Freecycle concept; using the Internet to tell people about junk you want to get rid of and seeing if it is of use to anybody else.

Generally, I have found this an excellent experience and have both given and received via this network. However, I have recently had the frustration of two people not following through on interest expressed a barely-used tin of paint I advertised.

Hopefully the next person will prove more reliable (and I have a couple more waiting after that). To my fellow Freecyclers though, I would urge that you make every effort to honour the arrangements you make. It is inconvenient to wait in and have no-one show up; I have had enough success with the system that I am inclined to persist but the next person you flake out on might be trying the idea for the first time and decide to never come back.

Want to add something? Please join the conversation about this posting (nb. Flickr or Yahoo! account required).
