We've freecycled masses this weekend and it's really not been a terribly happy experience. Really good stuff too.
One bloke got home and then rang up to complain that he thought there would be more weights in the set (there were precicely the number I'd specified in the offer).
On two occasions, people told dp that they'd been promised way more than had actually been agreed. This meant that one woman turned up to find that someone else had taken the baby gates she'd come for. I can understand why she's a bit fed up, and have appologised and explained what happened twice now in on email and in person, but have now got a shitty email from her because she made the trip for nothing.
I really don't want to be the munificent and adored benefactor. I don't even mind much that no one has said thank you - it was only stuff we needed rid of anyway, but have been left feeling vaguely guilty, and that's irritating. Surely passing on something useful to someone else should be a pleasant experience? Load of grabby wankers round here.
