Classifieds / Freecycle...,

[Meko]

Anybody use Freecycle? i've had some decent stuff off there and given loads of crap away too.

Probably on my own here with this but i wouldn't mind a freecycle kind of section in the classifieds for freebies. Probably loads of people binning stuff or freecycling stuff that other people on here would like or make use of. Plus you do often see 'free' pop up in the titles.

good idea but would properly be under used

I stopped using freecycle when the high chair i gave away appeared on ebay. ok it didnt sell but thats not the point I probably would offer something for free on here though or just take it to a charity shop.

possibly but if a lot of people use freecycle anyway sticking it on here is easier if you're already on.
It could be really busy as people usually bin stuff, take it to the charity shop or freecycle it anyway.

I've been using Freecycle for about a year, all my turt tanks have come from there, and I've had so many I ended up giving quite a few away! Also got rid of lots of stuff that I didn't want.

The thing is, the reason Freecycle works so well is that the groups are local, so when you see something you want you know it won't be far to go and pick it up. Whereas this forum is national (or international in a few cases) so stuff could be anywhere, and you know what it's like from the Classifieds section, the thing you want is always at the other end of the country!

As soon as you have to start paying postage, and the person giving the item away has to spend time packing it and taking it to the Post Office, the whole concept of "free" is lost.
