Freecycle "Too much work?"

<< < (2/6) > >>

I went to pick up a 68 cm CRT from a free cycle ad, but ended up with two because of a no-show, and the second one rocks  8)

Malenko:
I signed up for freecycle, and opted out like 3 days later. Never bothered getting anything, my inbox was filled with rule changes and "general news", when I say filled, I mean it. About 100 emails in 3 days, that seemed like a lot considering I didnt even try to get anything, or give anything away.

I used to keep an eye on freecycle, but the local "Trash or Treasure" group on Facebook has essentially replaced it.

ChadTower:

Leave items outside for the person to pick up at their convenience on a set date.  I have given away hundreds of items this way and only had one or two problems.  This eliminates having to work around anyone else's schedule.  You can be home or not home and you don't have to tell them which it will be.

Freecycle lists vary heavily in usefulness depending on the area.  The Freecycle lists in my area are great.  Some of the lists from larger cities not far from us are hopeless.

Vigo:
I would do this if I lived in a better neighborhood, since I only freecycle things of value like appliances and electronics. Leave anything valuable looking outside, and the crackheads from gov't housing building down the road pick up it's scent like zombies to human flesh. They will try to scope out the inside of your house too.
