[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Only time I ever got scolded was when I posted an item, someone PMd me to say he wanted it as a surprise for his wife who was also in the group. I agreed, and added to the post that it had been gifted. [b]I was immediately told by admin that I couldn't gift via pm[/b]. I explained the situation and it was fine, but there are those awkward moments.

The those rules due generally serve to keep out the chaos though I guess. [/quote]

:shock:

That's nuts. [/quote]

As someone who has posted and received PMs saying "I'll take it. I can come tomorrow afternoon," I definitely prefer posting publicly who gets it and asking them to PM.

I also like keeping posts up -- it's no harder to edit and add "Taken" than to delete -- because I like seeing whether something I want gets offered pretty regularly, or if something I want to get rid of had a lot of interest recently.

But if you don't want to follow BN's rules, it's totally fine to get rid of stuff another way. IME, the no-show hierarchy, from least- to most-frequent, is

BN
Freecycle
Craigslist[/quote]
