Thus defeating the object of FREEcycle.

Landyman:
Yeah we do freecycle and get most anoyed when people take stuff to sell on. :evil:

winchman:
I wouldnt reccomend it.
Lad near us was collecting broken computers
repairing them and putting them back on Freecycle as a few dedicated people on Freecycle do.
Problem was the moderators have some very powerful search tools and tracked him down to an Ebay account he was freecycling about 1/4 of them and selling the rest.
As you can imagine it didnt go down well with the locals, quite a few popped around for a chat LOL

So he was collecting (spending money going out of his way and removing junk from people) broken computors.

He was fixing them (spending time and money, stripping parts and using his skills).

He was giving 25% of everything back to the community for free.

Sounds like a sound lad to me and a very sound business plan.

Not really, The point of freecycle is that usefull stuff doesnt go to land fill.
