Freecycle - Modify post or new one?

Question

I'm part of a freecycle group, posted an offer, and the stuff is gone. How do I modify my post to reflect that or do I just post a new message and delete the old one?

Thanks

Answer 1

On Yahoo, you can't edit posts once they are out.

In our group, you post a "TAKEN" notice when something is gone. We don't delete the old message, although I know some other groups do.

Example of how we post on Freecycle groups:

Post a message to offer an item:

OFFER:  A jar of pickles.  (Zip Code)

When the pickles have been picked up, post another message:

TAKEN:  A jar of pickles.  (Zip Code)

You cannot modify your messages after they are posted but you can delete them if you wish.
