'random niceness' thread

[Pippy]

I've had these videogame postcards floating around for years, would rather send them off as one batch - any takers?

Tomb Raider III, Die Hard Trilogy, The X-Files Game, Newgrounds, Donald Duck "Quack Attack" x 5 (one for each weekday)

Would quite like the Donald Duck ones - as no one seems to be biting there. Will be glad to take the lot just for them.

It was kinda ignored during the 'make me laugh performing monkey thread' - those of us with no sense of humour just wandered around shouting at small mammals.

In response I will give away two things - cant be arsed with pics at the moment.

Ultimate Jordan (the nba star that is) - 2 disc region 1 dvd boxset
both discs need a professional buffing - a big scratch on each

Ps2 game - Test drive - off road wide open. SEALED but bottom corner crushed (trod on it when i dropped it)

I've given a few things away recently, but no sooner do I post info about them, the vultures come swooping in.

One of the problems is, there's only a few of us mad enough to give freebies away, everyone else is too busy milking Evilbay for profit.

I'd say this is the main problem. I've also been put off using this thread as too often I've asked for something and been told 'no, Mr. 20,000 posts has already PM'd me about it'.

I've done well out of this thread - a copy of NiGHTS, a copy of Ridge Racer V, an old Retro Gamer from 2005, amongst other things - but for most folk they don't even have a chance before anything decent is invariably snapped up, usually via PM and usually immediately.

I do both - but have given and taken a good few things from the thread. Its a great thread and it would be a shame to get this far in and let it slide.
I enjoy giving stuff away on here.

[Megamixer]

I've got a load of stuff I'll probably dump here in the next few days. Nothing super-exciting but it'll all be free as usual in any case.

Personally, I tend to give away more than I ask for so I'm not too fussed about missing things. I just like to recycle things directly to people that will get some use from them rather than chuck it in the bin or send it to a charity shop (not that think donating to chazza shops is a bad thing of course!).

[jdanddiet]

Perhaps people are running out of stuff to give.
Perhaps its the rise in postage costs...when you're essentially paying to give stuff away when you could be taking it for free to a charity shop (not that I for one begrudge this for a fellow gamer).

I've got a few spare games but they'll be going up to MK for his next raffle.

Agreed, there should be a rule that whatever you take you must replace it.. Say even if you took 3 items you must put 1 up in return; and no sports games.. Also on this thread and not via pm would help but who would enforce it?

I was toying with putting Streets of Rage 2 MD and some PSP games up, but to be honest with the overpriced postage, just didn't bother as nothing seems to get replaced. Think I will use A
Amazon trade in from now.. It was a good idea and not long ago people's generously was astounding.. Giving away 360 & PS3 games

[Grizzly]

I have a whole stash of stuff for this thread, it's just down to postage costs really though. The last batch I sent out cost a bit but that's ok really. I just need to wait til I have the money in the bank before I post more up! Hang in there!

There is, from Trevor's OP

1. If you take something from the thread, you must replace it with another item.
