*The* Gift-It-On Thread

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
The reason behind my thinking is this, someone puts up a swap and then has to change it 2 or 3 times in the hope someone will take it, well No!! if you don't want the swap fair enough do nothing, lets veer away from this practice of chop and change.
 
I can't believe no one wants an MTP shirt/jacket for free....I would've had it if it were my size (far too small for me!)

Thanks,
Allan

Then it was probably not a good idea to play?

Actually Mick is right.

There is no reason why he should offer anything else up, especially as he's already offered a torch which no one wanted either.

If people want the thread to move on then why not do what I and several others have done in the past when the thread has stalled and take one for the team and accept the gift that's on offer and put something new up.
 
while I agree there should be no rush to change items as I have said so in the past many time, offering something no one wants will eventually kill this thread.

Getting all toys out the pram about it certainly makes me reluctant to kick start the thread again

Im not throwing my toys out the pram matey I am making a point and a stand, as for kick starting the thread if you feel that reluctant move on.
 
Then lets hope not as the offer stands, im sick to death of people picking and choosing that was not the intention of the OP.


looks like throwing our your toys to me

doubt it was the op's intention for people to offer up stuff no one would want either?

people are hardly picking and choosing. who here doesn't own a half dozen torches already and offering a jacket that probably doesn't fit a good percentage of the crowed isn't helping your cause either.

If you can't hack the fact you offer isn't of interest maybe don't play then you wont run the risk of being caught with the dead ball, this was after all supposed to be a bit of fun
 
I don't want to offend anyone, especially since although I have often perused this thread I've yet to be able to take advantage.

I think both Woodstock and Corso have a point.

I think previously some people have been too quick to voluntarily change an offer on display or maybe pressure another to do so. There are some members who only come online once a week or less, it wouldn't hurt to give some offers a chance at being taken.
However I also think that the thread in general is remarkably self regulating. It doesn't really matter how good or poor an item is, the worth of the item is to the person who wants it. If nobody wants an item that's put up then really it doesn't matter how good it is, it's worthless with regards this thread.
Also IMHO if the thread dies it will be the fault of the last person to post something up that nobody wanted... Not the people who didn't want the item on offer.

Best of luck.
