So, based on the number of times you email people who are offering computers / parts on Freecycle- how many of them actually result in conquests?

I must have sent about 50 emails in the last 6 months and none have paid off.

Mostly because the item gets snagged in about 3 seconds flat.

However one guy told me I could pick up an iMac, but before I got it he emailed me and told me he would have to change the pickup date, and then I never heard from him again even though I emailed him about 3 more times after that over the course of 2 weeks.
