100% Agree. I got the same feeling, that its being abused.
The suggestion provide is really a good, to have sanity check and release the
goods, unless the givers are very urgent in releasing the goods.
Warm regards,
Vimal.

Subject: [SgFreecycle] Re: Suggestion: Randomly select receiving party
I agree. that more time shd be given to real interested party than rush them off
to the 1st to reply..
my encounter:
I once met a person who came to pick up furniture and told me his wife is
choosing from all sorts of free website so she could change furniture she do not
like at home. They are not in need.
I met a lady she gave away her furniture to a member of freecycle who told her
she desperately need it. And to her horror she found her very same furniture
being sold in some website.
Many of my friends heard about freecycle and they do not want to be rip off by
abuser so they did not participate in freecycle.
i felt is a pity that this freecycling is being abused, i have benefited from
this when i so needed a carseat when my second boy came along and someone gave
me .
pls upkeep the good name and good intention of freecycling.
thanks
