Hi Jumbletown,

Who comes first?
He who phones first or He who arrives first !

This has been niggling at me for a while.

Why do givers insist on reserving items or keeping a list of who came first.

If the purpose of listing on Jumbletown is to give items away, would it not be more appropriate to let the first person on the doorstep to leave with the item.
The bonus would be time-wasters would be too late and those really eager will be there as quick as possible with the result that the giver, gives the item away even quicker.

Prior to Jumbletown it was possible to get these items as "freebies" however when these people were contacted it was always whoever could collect first, that got the item(s) in question.
