I'm thinking about posting an ad on Freecycle.com for my area and am wonder what is the best way to go go about it. Should I just come out and say Wanted Free scrap metal or your recyclable metal and state what I do take or should it be what I don't take and if they have any questions on if I'll take it to call me. I know that I read on here to keep an eye open but I have some what a hard time with the fact of answering an ad on a frige that works and scraping it when some one in my area is worse off then me can use it with the way the times are call me soft lol but it's just the way I think/am.
The Flyer I have out now say's this :
Wanted
Free Scrap Metal
Stoves
Refrigerators
Washers
Dryers
Non-Working Lawn Mowers and Snow Blowers
and
Scrap Metal
Will Pick up Free

With tear tags on the bottom
I've gotten 3 calls the first was a flop the guy wanted me to buy his snow blower for a 150 bucks then I'd get the scrap after I explained I wasn't interested in the sb he was using his scrap pile
The second was a little better got some alum and some steel not much
The third was awesome a frige, tin, bike some pipe from a close line and I have to look at at a trailer house frame this week coming up and he's going to talk to other folks and give them my name and number. My phone isn't exactly ringing off the hook lol so I thought I'd give the freecycle route a try.
