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. :twisted: 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 :shock:
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.
