Freecycle

[altariel]

Wow, my first experience of Freecycle was something of a triumph. I had an office chair going spare: I posted this morning, my post got through moderation at 17.29 this evening, first response at 17.35, and it was out of the door by 7pm! Grassroots organization in efficiency shock. Surely this is humanity's future?

ETA: Aw, just got a nice thank you note too.

I'm a really big fan of freecycle too. Especially love it for those BIG items like washer/dryers and those really weird ones like skating dresses you'll never use again because you blew out your knee and can't skate any more... Heard the founder on NPR the other day saying someone in his area recently was able to give away a half bottle of black hair color one evening. Now that's a niche market!

I'm going to be reading it more frequently now, I think, although I'm trying not to replace the stuff I'm getting rid of!

LOL! There really is a home for everything!
