Tips on how to post an item on your local freegive group:

Is your item OFFER, TAKEN, WANTED, or RECEIVED?

• When making an offer, write "offer" in the subject line first.
• Don't put your phone number in it or it will ring off the hook.
• Ask individuals to email you with their phone number.
• It's a first-come, serve type of thing.
• Once your item is gone, make another posting that says it's gone.
• Always state what area you live in. People need to know whether they have the means to get to your place to pick up the item.

Example: Item Offer (HP Printer)

• Subject: ) - OFFERED: HP Printer, Model F2180 (Brixton Road, London, SW9).
• Text/Body: Please describe your item: ) - Good condition HP Printer, model F2180 - Will probably need new cartridges to make it work but I don't think it's a big problem. Let me know if interested.
