    Hi there,

    So many people here are advertising things for free but they want something for exchange fill in the form, pay a small fee, click on their link, etc. I think
    they should say aaaaalmoooost for free.

    If you really have something for free, let me know.

    I wish you all the best with your money making for freee.

    Free means no charge. If they want you to click on a link it is not costing you anything. It is still free. So far I've posted over 70 items for free. All a person had to do was visit a download page and select what they wished to download. And still I got complaints. It is this lack of gratitude that is making me think twice about posting free items.

    FYI, Freebies section is for threads that offer something for free (clicking an ad in exchange comes under this)
    But, it's also for deals that have $5 or lower on stake.

    Free in this context means you don't have to spend bucks to get it.

    Will you at least be willing to spend some time to visit a site, click the download link and download the file and save it to your hard disk.Then, open it by double clicking. Hey! That's too much time and effort.That's not free! :p

    Come on guys!
    We will have to manage and understand those things here. This forum is such! :D [​IMG]

    Guys, c'mon ! You ae getting products worth a lot of hours for simply filling in your name/e-mail somewhere, or clicking ONE lousy ad. I feel as if we are too spoiled online. In rl you aren't getting your sh!t for free either :s

    I think free in Freebies section means Trading with not more that 2 $$ to exchange or price may not be more than 2 $

    My opinion: $5 and under really are freebies.. It kind of seperates the good deals from the bad.

    I like it to a point!

    The internet is responsible for creating this new "I want everything for free" mentality and now everyone seems to think its their God given right to have free stuff online.

    That's a crappy way of thinking when you consider that someone somewhere has put their time and effort into creating a product for you to use. If you cant support their effort then you should stop trying to make money online and start begging for change on the street!

    The word "free" is everywhere you look online and now everyone expects to get what they want for free and that hurts the economy even further because no one wants to pay their fair share anymore. I've seen people on here complain about adding their name to a mailing list, even when getting a $100 product in return for free, but yet that same person is also trying to get people to buy their own stuff.

    Why don't you give YOUR stuff for free then? Oh, you don't like working for nothing without getting paid?? Well, neither do we...

    If those forms you're being asked to fill in are really ripping off some company hoping for genuine leads then report the thread because theft isn't cool.

    Same if they're asking you to click on ads - theft isn't cool

    Hello,

    Yes I think there is always a want to get money.. But, when it comes to getting things you want it for free. Sure, it may be wrong, but thats the way the world works today. Do you think, there would be war all over the earth if there was not this want for money.. Sorry to put this to ya.. People expect everything for free, but when it comes to selling there stuff, there should be a price tag on it..

    Whatever!!!
