I agree with kiara, i do like to choose who gets my items. Not always the first reply. I do however find that quite a few people pm for an item instead of replying on the thread. I have asked on my threads that people reply on thread to try to avoid this. Some people send numerous pms for the same item, even after it has been marked reserved. Still, i think we need to take a deep breadth when this happens, because we can choose who gets the item ourselves and we do get rid of our clutter.
I too have replied for items that i didn't get, i'm sure a lot of us have, but there's no point dwelling on it. When it's gone it's gone and good luck to the new owner. There will be days when you do happen to receive an item and this is all just part of the giving and receiving process. Recycling is what we are doing, try not to get too stressed over the method used, we are all playing a part in protecting our planet, however big or small a part, we all count.
