I belong to Sumter freecycle. For those not familiar with freecycle it is a way to clean out things you don’t need or no longer need and pass them for free onto someone else. You can also make requests for items. The following are just a few requests I found to be totally out of line with asking for every day items someone might have, around the house, that they are no longer using.

Freecycle ridiculous requests:

1. Wanted: Storage shed or mobile home for storage

2. [sumter_freecycle] Wanted Transmission

3. [sumter_freecycle] wanted: room built on trailer (rules state not to request services)

4. [sumter_freecycle] Wanted Transmission Help (see above)

5. [sumter_freecycle] WANTED: laptop memory

6. [sumter_freecycle] wanted: female cockatiel (these birds are around $250!)

7. [sumter_freecycle] WANTED: POWER POLE (yeah, I have a few of those lying around)

8. [sumter_freecycle] PPU: Lexmark 3in1 (I checked this out and the least expensive of these run from $99 to $149!)

9. [sumter_freecycle] WANTED: Boom Box or Shelf Stereo with CD player (another item that runs from $50 to $175).

10. [sumter_freecycle] wanted karaoke machine (I found one on sale for $49.95) sure –something I would have laying around the house ?

11. [sumter_freecycle] Wanted: Above ground pool (I think this is my favorite so far. I mean doesn’t everyone have an extra $10,000 to $35,000 above ground pool just lying around?)

12. [sumter_freecycle] Wanted: Leaf Blower or Shop Vac with blower attachment – the leaf blower might not be that bad. They run from around $39.99 to $109.99. and the Shop Vac with blower attachments aren’t cheap either. The cheapest I found was around $58!

13. (This one I just found totally disgusting)
[sumter_freecycle] WANTED: PAGEANT DRESSES
I have 2 small girls that really want to be in their first Clarendon
County Pageant.
If anyone has a gown that is a 4T and anyone else another in a 6X or 7

14. [sumter_freecycle] Wanted: Motorcycles, Dirtbikes, Minibikes, ATVs (Oh yeah, I always have at least one or two of these $10,000 plus items lying around to just give away!)

15. [sumter_freecycle] Wanted: Laptop (want to bet this is the same person requesting the laptop memory?)

16. [sumter_freecycle] Wanted: Computer

17. [sumter_freecycle] Wanted: Good working fridge
