			== Resellers ==

	~~==Admin: Resellers==~~		Most communities allow reselling. However, if you plan to sell anything given to you by another member, you're asked to say so, either in your post or when requesting the item(s).

	~~Most communities will allow your participation~~. ~~However if~~ you ~~plan to sell anything which is being given to you from another member~~, ~~you are required to state this~~ either ~~on your post~~ or on ~~requesting the item(s)~~.		Please don't request items the offerer has marked "not for resale". If you take something for your own use and later don't need it, please either give it away or put it back on Freegle.

	Please do not request items for which the offerer has stated they are 'not for resale', and if you take it for your own use then please either give it away or put it back on Freegle when you have finished with it.		Please play fair.

	~~Dear Members,~~

	~~Re-selling of items is not against our guidelines – as long as the members gifting the items agree!~~

	~~It is all right to use $groupname received items in fundraising support of a recognised local charity at a car boot or garage sale~~, ~~in a 2nd hand shop or even on Ebay as long as the gifter is aware of this.~~		Dear members,

	~~However if you operate a commercial business and intend selling goods obtained from $groupname~~, ~~then on joining you MUST advise~~ the ~~Moderator of your planned activity~~.		Reselling items isn't against our guidelines, as long as the member gifting the item agrees.

	~~Anyone reselling~~ items ~~obtained on~~ $groupname ~~MUST advise the donor of this intent~~ in ~~their response to an OFFER~~ or ~~in their initial WANTED posting~~.		It's fine to use items received via $groupname in fundraising for a recognised local charity - a car boot or garage sale, a second-hand shop, or even eBay - as long as the gifter is aware.

	If you obtained ~~something~~ from $groupname ~~and through a change~~ of ~~circumstances no longer require it we suggest~~ you:		However, if you run a commercial business and intend to sell goods obtained from $groupname, you must tell the moderators of your plans when you join.

	~~ a) Offer it~~ to ~~our community in general, b)~~ Offer ~~it to a local Charity~~, ~~c) Ask the original giver's permission to sell it on~~.		Anyone reselling items obtained through $groupname must tell the donor of that intent in their reply to an Offer, or in their initial Wanted post.

	~~Not only is this good manners~~, ~~but the original giver may prefer~~ it ~~be re-offered to the community or donated to a local charity. If you cannot recall the original giver~~'~~s details, contact you local volunteers and they may be able to help~~ you ~~out.~~		If you obtained something from $groupname and, through a change of circumstances, no longer need it, we'd suggest you:

	~~Freegle members are intrinsically friendly and trusting; please do not abuse their trust. Any reported incidents of reselling will be checked and may lead~~ to ~~suspension~~ or ~~a ban within Freegle~~.		: a) offer it back to the community, b) offer it to a local charity, or c) ask the original giver's permission to sell it on.

			This isn't just good manners - the original giver may prefer it to be re-offered to the community or donated to a local charity. If you can't recall the original giver's details, your local volunteers may be able to help.

			Freegle members are naturally friendly and trusting - please don't abuse that trust. Any reported incidents of reselling will be checked, and may lead to suspension or a ban from Freegle.

	Thank you,		Thank you,

	==~~Admin:~~ Freegle, selling, and keeping things out of the tip==		== Freegle, selling, and keeping things out of the tip ==

	Freegle has been created to keep unwanted things out of landfill. That's its main aim. And we are really grateful for all your activity, your WANTS and your OFFERS, because all of these are cutting down what is going in the bin or in the tip.

	A few members have raised queries about selling on items. As the mods team, we have talked about this a lot. We can't really enforce rules about this, as it's too hard to see what happens once things have been passed on. We just want to ask you to do something for us.

	If you are looking for things to sell on, whether its for charity, or as part of a business - if for example you refurbish bikes or computers and sell them on, or if you want things for a car boot sale or a charity shop – that's fine. It still keeps things out of landfill. We just ask you, out of courtesy and the spirit of Freegle, to say that's what the things are for. This will give people the choice

	~~If you are giving something away, and you specifically don't want it~~ to ~~be sold on, please do feel free to say so. Just remember~~ that ~~Freegle isn~~'~~t about need - it~~'~~s not a charitable organisation -~~ and ~~people who sell on are still keeping things out~~ of the bin~~, but we understand if you would prefer this not to happen~~.		Freegle exists to keep unwanted things out of landfill - that's its main aim. We're really grateful for all your activity, your Wanteds and your Offers, because all of it cuts down what ends up in the bin or at the tip.

	~~Obviously~~, this ~~doesn~~'t ~~apply~~ to ~~people selling~~ on ~~or giving away things that they have used and no longer need,~~ just ~~things that have been asked~~ for ~~with the sole intention of selling on~~.		A few members have raised questions about selling on items. As the moderator team, we've discussed this a lot. We can't really enforce rules here, since it's too hard to see what happens once something's been passed on - so we just want to ask you for one thing.

	We ~~hope this makes things clearer~~, and ~~we thank~~ you ~~again~~ for ~~your support~~.		If you're looking for things to sell on, whether for charity or as part of a business - say you refurbish bikes or computers and sell them on, or want stock for a car boot sale or charity shop - that's fine. It still keeps things out of landfill. We just ask that, out of courtesy and the spirit of Freegle, you say that's what the items are for. This gives people the choice.

	~~==Admin: Selling on==~~		If you're giving something away and specifically don't want it resold, feel free to say so. Just remember Freegle isn't about need - it isn't a needs-based charity - and people who resell are still keeping things out of the bin, but we understand if you'd prefer this not to happen with your item.
