Freecycle

[scazmatic]

I recently signed up for the Freecycle message board here in Charleston metro. Although I think the concept is novel, and it appeals greatly to someone as obsessed with yard sales and freebies as I am, I have started to sour on it. Basically, people seem to understand the intent, but have a really hard time implementing it in a practical fashion. A day's worth of posts too often reads as follows:

WANTED: XBOX 360 and games

WANTED: Washer/Dryer for new apt.

WANTED: Transmission for Dodge Dakota (Elkview)

WANTED: Sofa or loveseat, preferably brown

OFFER: Box of random junk

OFFER: puppies
