Pay it forward....

[maddave]

Recently I was after a bit of kit, and the item came my way completely free of charge "Cheers Dougster".... So I got to thinking, one good deed deserves another, so here's the deal. I have a brand new Russian Snow Smock in white cotton size XL It's the jacket type with hood rather than the headover type and fastens with ties at the front. It will be a great project for modding, so the first person to reply to this thread with "ME PLEASE" will get it... Free , gratis and I'll even pay postage for you. I'll PM you for your address when you reply.

Sorry did I jump the gun I thought you wasn't obliged to give anything HUMPBACK otherwise it will be a repeated thread . http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57726&highlight=gift.
either way My offer stands gents I'll leave the thread rules to you guys .

 

[maddave]

ahh yes. No there was no obligation for the next person I just thought it was a nice thing to do, and so do you guys by the look of it.. Future posters if you wish to Just give something away, pop it here but if you'd like the person who receives your item to pay on with another act of random kindness, please use the Gift it on thread here...

Thank you very much Paddytray!
This sounds like a good thread, just like "Gift it on" but legally different of course!
Although i am not obliged to put up anything, i would like to pass on some random kindness, in the shape of a brand new shiny Ikea Drainer. so all you have to do is post "Me please" and it will wing its way to you!

How does this differ from the gift it on thread?

 

[Robbi]

i don't think it does.

There is no oligation to send an item in return, or to post an offer once you take an item, whereas there is with the GIO thread.

Useful thread for getting rid of odd nik-naks

Ok, so there can be multiple offers on at once? Or only one? Not wanting to pee in anyone's coffee but if you just want to give something away then a FREE listing in classifieds may be more efficient? As - if multiple people use this thread as a freecycle equivalent it will get a touch confusing. That is unless only one offer is up at any one time?

Depends how maddave envisioned it to work Ask him

 

[Paddytray]

why not we can all help to put things into one post just reply with last offer before offering another but I'm not incharge just a thought

Could work, collated all into 1 post with a numbered list

# Item (Offered By: #)
# Item (Offered By: #) - Post 1
# Item (Offered By: #)

"I would like item #" - Post 2

Item # owner's reply - Post 3

New Items - Post 4

So at any 1 time the thread should have 2 to 4 posts BUT would require lots of mod work to prune.

 

[Paddytray]

think us guys/girls can help out with that easy enough as we go like the gift it on your soon have vultures lurking saying what pickings there are

 

[maddave]

I see what Paddy is saying though The GIO thread or free classifieds may be the way to go.
