Freecycle

Do any of you use Freecycle where you can offer unwanted goods for free, or ask if anyone has something you need with which they are willing to part?

I use it occasionally to get rid of things I no longer need but are too large to take down to the charity shops. However, I do get fed up with people who demand you bring the goods to them (definitely NOT) or are demanding in other ways. What a cheek when they are getting something for free!

That's uncalled for surely?
Tara has said that it's in excellent condition and hardly been used.
And she doesn't tell porkies!!

Re: Freecycle

Mattresses are notoriously hard to get rid of on free cycle particularly singles. Sadly many don't trust they will be clean.

Free cycles great for many things though.

It is certainly not manky and only a year or two old. But anyway I have found someone in the last hour who is falling over themselves to have it, and not on Freecycle either!

Just curious - where did she say that ?

Surely no post has been removed from a lightweight thread like this ?
Edited perhaps ?

Re: Freecycle

Yes, I've used freecycle successfully in the past. Never had any problems with difficult people on there either touch wood

Re: Freecycle

I use it to donate stuff, never had a use for it other than that.
Glad you got rid of your mattress, Tarantula..
