Hi buffy,

Undoubtedly some 'selling-on' does occur on JumbleTown, but it would be impossible for JumbleTown Admin to dictate to Givers who they should pass an item on to -- in other words, Givers are free to pass on an item to whomever they want, be it the first, second or even tenth respondent. Givers make their own judgement call.

UPDATE (8-10-06):

JumbleTown is not a charity site -- it is an environmental site. The User Guide and several posts by the Admin make clear that the site's primary function is to help people pass on unwanted, useful and generally bulky items to others in their immediate community or throughout Ireland. The Giving and Taking process (what we call "life-cycling") postpones an item's entry into costly recycling and landfill systems.

Regards
Chris P
