Why are some people so greedy?

Pk here this story... I belong to several groups Called FREECYCLE, in this grouos you post things you want to get rid of or things you want to find, BUT they have to be FREE.

Which makes it nice for alot of people and of course lowers the amount of useable clothes and things that are thrown away. Now on Sat. I was reading my email and there was a post someone asking for chickens. Ok now I had a few too many that I was trying to sell, at that point I had noone intersted in buying them .. Sooo the nice person that I tried to be I replyed and said hey ok I have 9 you can have, just come get them.

No problems but when they got here something felt awfull fishy...well we caught the ones I was willing to part with.

Tonight as I am once again reading mail low and behold in another one of the groups that is for the same thing, same person AGAIN asks for chickens.

Now I am thinking that I could of given them to someone else that REALLY could of used them. It makes me feel totally different about this groups now, I have no problems helping any one I can that is in need, But I rather it was someone that truly neds that kind of help.

I guess we all learn from trial and error. Thanks for listening to me complain I just had to get it off my chest.

How would you feel if that happened to you ?

AYour intentions were good and that is all that matters. You didn't lose anything and one day you will help some one Ghost-Chick

We all learn from experience and hopefully we spot the "scammers' before they take advantage, but in any case, don't dwell on it. It was what you intended to do that counts.  
Date: 4/4/2005 12:31:00 AM  From Authorid: 28946    I understand how you feel. You are a nice person for wanting to help and it isn't the sites or your fault that this person is greedy - alot of people are and it can sometimes ruin something nice. The chicken taker might be putting the chickens up for winter in the freezer and therefore wanting more or she could be selling them to private people she knows. (I knew a woman that did similar stuff and didn't care who she ruined the progtam for.) Try to stay positive and look closer at who gets your give aways next time and please don't let a few ruin a needed program that I wish our town had.
