Freecycle

[maybebaby]

Does anyone use freecycle? I've used it a few times to get rid of bits & pieces & got some in return. Today I got an medula mini electric breast pump from a lovely lady Obviously I'm going to give it a good clean & sterilise but I'm really chuffed

What's the best thing you've ever got from freecycle?

I've never used it... I keep hearing about it on here, but always forget to look it up

Love it. My best (and only) thing - a silver TV/DVD player. I was looking for one for our room a couple of years ago and there was one on our local freecycle. The guy had used his real surname as his username and I recognised it from the buzzers outside the flats we used to stay in. Turns out he lived up the stairs - he offered it to me out of about 30 others and even carried it down the stairs for us

The flat we live in now came fully furnished but we had most of our own stuff - managed to offload most of it within a couple of days!

I've never used it either but my mum put some stuff I had on there and they all went within 2 days!

As we're moving from a 1 bed flat to 5 bed house we need loads!

My Mum just collect 2 stairgates for me, and I'm looking out for two more. There's always loads of single beds, which we will look at claiming the weekend we move so we can collect in the van.

We could also be getting a full size Piano from there, just need to figure where we're going to store it!

As the purpose of our move is to save money over the next year, we've said if anything breaks down eg washing machine etc, we shall look on there before buying one.

My hubby got a fridge for his homebrew, I got a baby backpack although it was quite shoddy and my parents got a couple of tons of limestone for their garden walls!

I got lots of stuff for the sexual assualt centre I sort of work alongside.. DVD player, TV, CD player, bundle of magazines. Also got a highchair and a baby bath seat, bundle of toys, and a buggy.. in the end we didn't need the buggy but I freecycled it and somebody else claimed it

Mostly I have given stuff away on there, which is good.

I got this a few days ago , the seal had gone on ours and had smoke billowing out of it so well chuffed with this.
I've also got a baby bath seat, baby gym, bouncing door thing, LOADS of baby books with nursery rhymes etc and a bouncy seat.
I've given away loads of womens magazines as I read them and put an ad on when I have a load, an upright piano, a double bed frame, 100 breast pads that I never needed and a lawnmower.

I found it really confusing to get set up but once I managed that the rest was a doddle.
