I'm always amused (but not amazed) at how quickly the responses can pour in when you list items on Freecycle. On a whim, I posted my now-redundant Airport Extreme base station (sorry for not offering it around to my f-list first), and since I was posting I put out the two aforementioned luggage items, too. Within 10 minutes of posting, I had half a dozen takers for the Airport. Within an hour, I had takers for all three items. It's such a wonderful de-cluttering tool! So now, what with having not only made up the party shopping list but having done the first round of shopping, my entire weekend to-do list is to-done.

So how successful are you at having people who want Freecycle things actually coming to pick them up when they say they will? No shows have become a big problem here in Atenveldt, and many of us have quit because of it. The concept is great ... just wish it didn't take so much effort some times.

Glad it's working for you... I've not had such luck. Getting started in my timid/shy way, I listed something... got one response asking for more info, got a bit of tutoring from him, and we learned that what he wanted was a bit different than what I had. A bit later, someone posted asking for something that sounded a lot like what I had, she was a good correspondent, but then disappeared. So I still have my junk and no encouragement to try again. (When I get a little more organized, I'll list my items again, and gather other items to list, but I'm not there yet.)
