While each individual network may have slightly different restrictions, most are similar. There are generally four types of posts and these words must appear inrepparttar subject line of your email: Wanted: xxx, Offer: xxx, Taken: xxx, or Found: xxx.

Generally, you should elaborate a bit in your emails as to why you are need something or why you are interested in picking uprepparttar 147095 item. Please save your entire life story for another forum, but responses like "I'm interested" will likely get deleted.

Be sincere. Don't make up a woeful story trying to get something. The intent of Freecycle is to help others by giving and getting. And atrepparttar 147098 same time, helprepparttar 147099 environment.
