Default Re: Experience Of Offering Stuff Free Of Charge

It's generally possible to assess the quality of Freecycle responders by their emails. The car booters all send a very generic response with no explanation as to why they want something. There are normally one or more well written responses with full contact details and suggestions for collection arrangements, and they're the ones that I choose. I've not had a lot of problems.

There are difficulties the other way - I've driven miles to collect something only to find it has been given to somebody else, and somebody once demanded £20 when I arrived.
