I am sure that I am not alone here with what I am about to say, in fact I know I’m not after all of the people I’ve spoken to.

There are so many of us who are either giving items away for free or maybe selling them.
The constant issues that we who give items for free or sell them is almost the same one, time after time, again and again and again and ….
What I am struggling with, in fact getting so annoyed by, is the constant ‘no shows’, ‘waste of timers’ – whatever you want to call them.
I am always giving away items here (along with so many), especially garden plants or clippings.
I know that I should sell them and make a few dollars along the way, however, my way of thinking is that so many have helped me get my garden to where it is with their generosity and I feel as though I want to do the exact same thing, hence why I give them away for free.
Please, on behalf of all of us who are giving you items for FREE (and selling them), please turn up when you say you are going to or reply to our replies after we have messaged you with our address details etc …
Please don’t give fake phone numbers and please return our calls if you can’t answer the phone.
Our time is just as important as yours.
All you are doing is making sure that you will never get stuff from us next time you ask as we know that you are just going to waste our time.
You are also making it difficult for those genuine people who are waiting in line to see if there is anything left.
While we understand that real life can step in at a moment’s notice, please let those who are expecting you know of any delays.
We will almost always hold the item for you.
But not letting us know means that so many others are affected and if it’s garden plants, they could die while waiting for you.
Just a couple of questions for those who are no shows:
• Are you waiting for an address so you can scope the place to rip off, as suggested by so many?
• Would it help if we put our items on the curb with a FOR SALE sign with a price so you can actually steal/take them away? Would that make you feel as though you were getting a bargain?
Please, please be mindful, considerate and above all, kind to those who are really trying to be the same to you with their generosity.
