    It's really disappointing to hear of so many people abusing something that's supposed to represent goodwill. Humans are pretty shit I suppose.

    Its for the hippy ad fab, tofu eating lot isnt it? If Ive got stuff worth giving away I can get my neigbours interested or I just give it to a charity shop. I just leave stuff where people can find it and it soon goes ....a good home found.

    If its worth selling I will sell it. If its not worth selling I will find it a good home without having to use sites like that.

    Im not going to put that much effort into advertising stuff for free. I know sites like that are going to get abused and its all a bit twee to me. Of course dealers are going to turn up and its going to be a right kerfuffle. The idea that its going to the ideal person goes out the window when a dealer turns up

    Its sort of a nice idea in theory but I cant be arsed with it

Just gull of arseholes looking to get stuff for nowt to flip by pretending to be punters rather than traders.
    Same here.
