Further to my thread here:

Where I was wanting to give away some old build wheels. I advertised them on gumtree and on here and quite frankly I'm astounded by the cheek of some people.

1 guy has tried to phone me using reverse charges 6 times!!

Another wanted to know if I would deliver them (around 20 miles from my house), I said sure if you chuck me a tenner for fuel (fair i thought) and he declined saying it was too much

The wheels were bloody FREE!

I knew the scottish had a reputation of tightness but this takes the biscuit

Defo a WEST COAST THING BUTT

East coasters would drive all over to give them away

I had similar when I tried to give a fridge away on freecycle. Add went thus

'Undercounter fridge, white, couple of mild dents and a bit scratched however works fine. Pick up only - free to good home'

Lots of people asked me to deliver, lots asked me to exactly describe the scratches/dents etc. Some asked to meet me half way.




Grrrrrrrr - it's free, what more do you want.

Leave them outside your house with a 'for sale £50' sign.
They will be gone within the hour.
If you have them with a sign saying 'free, please take them' they may still be there a few days later.

Weigh them in 12 quid a wheel at the moment

Bigfacedave off here is having them, sooner someone got some use out of em. Scrappies wont pay for them with tyres on so not worth bothering
