maxwell 88 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 What happens to the so called new starters we have seen joining the site and asking for any spare ferretting gear free of charge never to be seen on the site again. 5 Quote Link to post
Gaj1612 99 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 why do you have some gear you want to give away? haha plenty of idiots about mate take it for free use it for a season thrn give up and probably make a profit from it Quote Link to post
maxwell 88 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Ive just seen a wanted add on another site wanting gear for free because hes just starting and doesnt want to spend the money in case he doesnt stick at it Quote Link to post
pie-eater 377 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Cheeky feckers. I started with a jill and about as many purse nets as I could fit in a couple of pockets. Kids want everything instant these days. 2 Quote Link to post
Flacko 1,742 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 It's good to help out genuine lads but how many are really that, best thing to do is advertise and donate to a good cause either the sick kids or injured servicemen women, reckon most of the newbies just looking for a little earner atb Flacko 2 Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,042 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 This site has always been very good for helping youngsters out,,,,,but like pie eater said ,,most of us started with a Jill ,,and a handful of nets,,,, Let's be honest,,in many respects it's all you need,,,,I think you can still buy cheap nets for about a pound each,,,,and a ferret kit for a fiver or less,,,,you could get going for less than a tenner 3 Quote Link to post
The one 8,463 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 Ive giving stuff away good luck to however got it and if they use it or punt it , but to help a youngster i would prefer to take them out show them how to do things and slowly pass some gear on to them .As you could give somebody 100 nets but if there no using them right whats the point ?. 2 Quote Link to post
bowburnbandit 20 Posted June 26, 2015 Report Share Posted June 26, 2015 I started with a jill and about 10 nets, I picked a hutch up that was knackered and ended up tarting it up, all in for about 15 quid I think. As said I think it's good to help the younger generation get into ferreting and help them out with a bit of gear bit more importantly the knowledge. I don't think I would give gear to a youngster I didn't know unless I had taken them out a few times to make sure they were genuinely interested but there aren't many people who would take strangers onto their land and show them the ropes like an old timer did for me and understandably so. Hard to tell who is genuine and who is out to make a couple of quid off the backs of some kind hearted people who are trying to help them out 1 Quote Link to post
