I've never had problems giving away free shit when I give it away through FreeCycle. If the first person flakes, the second always comes to grab it.  |
Funny that you say that about the $10. We thought of that and almost charged some small amount because people figure if it's free it's no good.
I've never used FreeCycle - will have to check that out. Generally I'm a Craigslist fan and it works really well. Once I followed up on an ad by this woman who was moving and she wanted to give away whatever was in her storage bin. She figured if she hadn't used it in months she didn't need it.
She was handing out tons of useful items. I walked off with new candles, a huge box of Christmas wrapping paper (always looking for that stuff). Some DVDs - and oddly, a hand drawn picture of a Klingon!
