Title: Anyone ever Freecycle?
Post by: dreamyxo on March 28, 2016, 11:26:38 pm

I haven't been on that site for years.  In the past I got a bicycle.  I used to when I moved before I got a car.  When I moved a few years ago I got a bunch of kitchen items like pots, pans, dishes etc.  When I moved again I put a lot of items back on freecycle but most people never showed up to get the items so I ended up giving stuff to Salvation Army.

I have never heard of Freecycle.  I generally give things I don't want to family and friends.  If they don't want it, I will take it to Helping Hands or For Jamie's Sake (an abuse shelter for women).

Did it a couple of times but I never really take advantage of it. Most of the time the items are already claimed for.

I subscribe to a couple freecycle groups, and once in the past I got something for free that was advertised, but I haven't seen anything on there that I like in a long time. After our yard sale maybe I'll post a few offers on there.

Nope, but I have heard of similar types of networking sites.

Freecycle?  Hadn't thought about it in years.  Several years ago I looked at the website a few times but didn't see anything I needed or wanted.  Then I just forgot about it.  May I'll give it another look see now.

I haven't looked in years either. Most of the time when I did look, it was so far away from where I live, it didn't seem worth it. I think it's a good idea though, if people can reuse stuff.

I've freecycled before.  I was the person that picked up stuff and heard the same comment by the people that were getting rid of things.  One woman told me if the chair filling I picked up didn't work out for me I either pass it on or bring it back to her as she didn't want it landing in a fill somewhere.
