I just sent out my first Freecycle post (for the camera and discman that I've been trying to get rid of for ages). It was a frightening experience! The FAQ is all, go ahead, wait 24 hours, pick whomever you like - except that I got so many emails in the first 10 minutes that it was stressing me out. And then people were emailing again, asking if I'd gotten their first email! Eep!

So I panicked and picked a couple of people. Except now of course I wish I'd waited, because there were people who wrote really cute stories, and that sort of effort should be rewarded. Oh well. I have more stuff to get rid of, so we'll see what happens next time.

This post brought to you by the fact that clearly I'm not fully competent on Sunday night.

I only ever gave away one thing on Freecycle. Item was a cat bed that Juniper had soundly rejected, to the point of refusing to even be picked up and put in it. I got at least 25 emails, I ended up giving to the only person who didn't type in all caps.

Ha, yes, I'll freely admit that the all-caps emails were immediately ignored.
