Freecycling

I belong to a group, but don't use it too much. I have given away a few things I didn't want anymore that way.

I've been to that website for my area. I think it's great. There are a lot of people that are actually in need of other people's old items. I only tried it for a month, because it was hard getting something you wanted. People would often beat me to the item I would find. It's a very fast paced community, but useful!

I help moderate our local Freecycle, its a wonderful way to pass on items within the local neighbourhood, I've also met some lovely people through it who have wonderful approaches to life

I love it that freecycle is getting so much publicity. This is a wonderful group. Once there was someone in our area giving away a wood stove. It was too large for our needs or I would have dragged my husband over and grabbed it! Other things like bird cages, stoves, washers, etc.

Yes, there is a freecycle group in our area and it seems to be a really good one. I've given away a few things and gotten a few things. It's better to let others use things you've grown tired of instead of just throwing them away!

I used to moderate a Freecycle group for two years until I moved. I created the group and went from 0 to over 1000 members in the time i wasthere. Now I live in Colorado, and the freecycles here totally suck. Nobody gives away anything and if they do, they are gone faster than fast. I started a local online yardsalein group and now instead of giving stuff away, I sell it online locally. I started the group 3 weeks ago and I now have over 80 members in my group. We sell and buy to local people and they come and get the stuff, like Craigslist, but more localized. Thanks for the topic! PS....I love Freecycle when it is managed correctly.

I have signed up for our local freecycle, however I have not used it. Maybe someday I will.

I belong to two in my area. Have never been able to get anything yet. Iam usually too late. =( lol Always my luck. Day late/Dollar short ;-) lol ~*~ Happy Holidays ~*~ Psss I luv your kitty icon, too precious.

I went to a Christmas party tonight and one of the girls were talking about it so I checked it out and ending up joining. What a good way to get rid of some of my stuff that I no longer use. Like the saying goes, "one man's trash is another man's treasure" And hopefully I might be able to find some things I want too.

I belong to our local freecycling group. I think it's a lot of fun. I missed out on an L-shaped sectional this week because I didn't respond quickly enough. I wish it offered something similar to Southwest Airlines' "ding" feature that makes a sound on your computer whenever Southwest releases a bargain airfare.

I am a member, I used it a few times with no regrets.
