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.

Hi teddy bear,
Givers are free to give an item to whomever they choose, be it the first or last poster on a thread, the first of last PM'er, the first or last person to telephone. Neither Admin nor JumbleTown Members can dictate who gets an item; after all it's not our item.
Having said that, most Givers pass on an item to either...
(A) the first person poster on a thread
OR
(B) the first PM'er
OR
(C) the person who is able to collect the quickest.
Once again, it's the Giver's choice.
Thanks for the feedback.
Regards
Chris P
