Freecycle is brilliant............for clearing out as well as needing something.
My washing machine broke a few months before I was due to move in with my partner, so there was no point buying 1 as his was fine.
I got 1 from freecycle.............delivered AND installed free.
It's an amazing site for people in need of something!!!

always been a big fan of freecycle but some people on there is always on the want. and the stuff they want is daft inc lap tops,and cars.
i know some on there has around three accounts on there.  it kind of puts you off a little .
i make sure that if i offer stuff i never let it go to the people who just want all the time.

same here. If I offer stuff, I wait for 24 hours before responding to let everyone have a chance.
Also, if they're polite and don't use "text talk" like "i rly nd 1 of dem, wud luv it LOL" then it ups their chances.
We managed to furnish a whole 2 bed house from freecycle for my brother inlaw a few weeks ago, they'd just moved in together, he was starting a new job and his G/F was about to give birth. 2 van loads of stuff. And they were genuinely grateful.

i was reading on another forum how people get stuff off of freecycle then ebay it
those who want stuff for there selfs is fine but to ebay it is just shocking.
i know what you mean by text talk i ignore all text talk replys.
i have got to the stage now as when i offer it i ask for a contact number ,if they havnt left one they havnt got it.
