Fwd: [toon] OFFER: 40 new plastic sheets, acryclic (Wansdyke, Morpeth)

[Alistair MacDonald]

This has just appeared on Freecycle. It is a way away but if it is laserable then might be worth it.

He says it's acrylic, but then says he's not sure of exact amterial 

 

If they are clear then it's either going to be Acrylic ( AKA perspex/Plexiglass/lucite etc ) which cuts well

or polycarbanate ( AKA Lexan) which CAN be Laser cut, but cuts poorly ( unless it's very thin)  and smells real bad.

However Polycarbonate can be milled and cut with regular tools so i would say yes it's still well worth having

I am just putting this out there. Past experiences have taught me never to get in the middle of a freecycle collection.

I'll get it if you bag it...I'm not on freecycle...

Alternatively, drop me the email address of the poster and I'll bag it ;_0

I've contacted him, he's decided that they have some value. as he puts it "not much, I'll let you decide the value of them when your here" . Are we still interested even though he's going against freecycle? if so how much do you reckon?

I would say forget it. No matter how little it might cost us it is totally against freecycle policy.

https://groups.freecycle.org/group/Wick/admin/35675

Freecycle asks people to report this kind of behaviour

He sent me a message saying he was leaving morpeth at 5, so it would have to be by then. Told him I couldn't do that as I'm sat it the pub. Not reported him yet, may do it when I get home if I remember.

I am with Glen. Asking for payment is not acceptable on freecycle. A principle thing.

Hint is in the name FREEcycle.  Report the muppet.
