It really is the greed that gets me. It's one thing to see stuff offered you'd like to have, like I got a "Crobots" book (crochet amigurumi robots) book, which I'd actually been holding at B&N not 2-3 days earlier than when I saw the offer post (and thus saved myself about $15), but another to ask for really expensive items that you're just too stingy to buy... and then be PICKY about them too.

The idea is that you're keeping stuff out of the landfill, so likely often older things. And honestly, you should be glad anyone's getting rid of enameled cast iron cookware for free at all, let alone in perfectly mint condition.

I know some split off from our local Freecycle list to become Freeshare, as they didn't like that Freecycle got taken over or bought into by a waste management company, and felt that went against the principles or idea.
