The aim is simple and 2 fold
The following post will be the first item offered and an example of how to accept and carrying on the thread.
- To give an easy meabe of clearing out clutter that once was in use and now has no use to the owner
- To ensure that tools/equipment/literature that can be used by our sector gets as much useas possible
- Once an item is offered, the person accepting the offer should quote the previous post in thier reply - This makes it easier to see what item they are replying to - In the event that simultaneous users go for the same item, the user that has quote the item in reply will win the item. In the event of a tie, the person offering the item decides who gets the item.
- All offers must have pictures and be posted within 48hrs of accepting the item offered previous - This gives a bit of time to find something to gift on
- Items offered in acceptance of previous offer do not need to equate to the same value - A £2 hammer could be offered in in acceptance of a £20 set of pliers - You get the idea
- Postage is the responsibility of the person offering the item. In the event postage is excessive (~£10) it is recommended that discussions about postage take part in private to see if the accepter is willing to contribute towards postage - This will side keeping the thread 'fair'; a stack of books for example will cost more to send than a single screwdriver
- Items should be sent by recorded delivery to verify the item is sent/received. - it is advisable to reply/quote to the person accepting your item - posting a copy of the post office receipt is advised- so that there is transparency should any send/receive arise
- Anyone found abusing the good nature of this thread will be reported to the site team - Not sending items, failure to provide proof of postage etc
- Additional rules may be added should the need arise.
