to think putting these on freecycle....

[DuelingFanjo]

is a bit ...erm... bizzare...

"Hi, I have lots of adult wear to give away including studded pants for
men, unisex leather masks and leashes for those who are interested."

complete with mobile phone number!

Oh weird...report it! Sounds like someone looking for like minded folk or a thrill.

Well, I thought someone could make use of them.

I've even tried to clean the studded pants as best I can

Nah, it's some pissed off husband/wife who's discovered her other half's fetish gear.

Genius! Freecycle is now a S&M pick up joint.

hehehe...I hope they have been throughly anti-backed before sale

It can't be round my neck of the woods - those would never get past the moderators!

the weird thing is that the email address is clearly a woman but the message says to 'ask for Gary'!

Yes, I bet the mobile number is not for the poster but someone they want revenge on.

I was in the charity shope and they had a boxed leather studded thong in there! it was gross!

I don't know how to report it.

I wonder about my freecycle group to be honest. Recently they set up a buy and sell group for 'those tings that are just too good to give away' :(

I would imagine your mods will remove it pretty sharpish.

thing is, All messages are modded before they get posted AFAIK.

it would have already been approved if its on there. mods have to 'put' the ads up don't they?

deary me.
what are they thinking approving such a message?

But surely the whole point of freecycle is that things are re-used rather than ending up on landfill.

So what's different about this stuff? It's a bit kinky and not my cup of tea but it's not illegal. Some people are into that stuff.

I don't see anything wrong with it.

I suppose for me it's the thought that it might be previously used, I hope they have cleaned it somehow. That is if it's genuine!

Also - If I were interested I would feel a bit uncomfortable going to pick it up IYSWIM?

Better than the tupperware container of lentils which are 'years and years old but probably OK' that is on our Freecycle!

Last week there was 'half a lof of Warburtons sliced bread'

oh my mum had lentils that were donkey's years old - she used them for weighting her pastry cases as she cooked them.

Blu where on earth do you live? Must be the greenest town on earth! I can just see it now..."Available; one broken egg shell...please come as our composter is full"

There would probably some sort of covert operation whereby undercover of darkness its left in a plain unmarked box in a phone box at the end on a quiet lane for you to pick up

I wonder why Gary is getting rid of them? Leather masks never go out of style.
