To wonder if I'm missing something here? (freecycle)

[BibiBlocksberg]

Put a few things on my local freecycle today as having a clear-out.

Almost without exception I'm getting e-mails saying 'yes, very interested, call me' or in one case just 'ring on this (mobile) no'

Is this the norm now? Am I missing something here?

Why on earth would anyone think it should cost the giver money in phone calls to mobile no's - and just WHY? Do you want it or not? If you want it tell me when you want to pick the item up and then come and collect.

YANBU. I quite often give things away on freecycle and usually it is pretty decent stuff.
If I get rude 'I'll have it' messages or 'call me on 10449329585' I either ignore it or email back saying 'I have decided to give this to another freecycler as your message came across as quite demanding.'

I don't think it hurts to send a reminder to people that manners on freecycle should be expected. They are getting free things after all.
