What have you given and received on freecycle?

Because we live in germany, and I don't understand enough german, I have yet to give anything away on freecycle.

But am coming home in 2 weeks so just wait for a plethora of posts with loads of stuff to give away!

I have received some school dresses though. A lovely lady was giving them away as her daughter had outgrown them. They are the perfect size for my daughter (with a little growing room left) and my dad picked them up for me!

anyone on Southampton Freecycle?

Recently recived Thomas Tank Engine bits for my almost 2 year old DD who is mad on Thomas, I gave away my cot mattress & bedding to notice the person who collected it had it back on freecycle within hours saying she was tipping it the following day unless someone wanted it. I had loads of people ask for it so was a bit upset that she did that Hope someone did have it as it was a shame to just tip it like that.

i think its a great site but get a little annoyed at resellers id rather give it to someone who has not got the money to go buy new rather than someone whos going to make money from it otherwise i might as well sell it myself

I know the feeling, when i list items on freecycle i always wonder if they are going to a good home or if its someone that wants to make a few £'s. I do go to local Carboot sales and you get to know who the regulars and the "dealers" are so i do try to remember there faces when they come and collect bits and bobs from me. So far the stuff i had given away as far as i know have gone to good homes. It does make me laugh with some of the requests that we have on ours, A few weeks back, someone was asking for isle of wight festival tickets That they wanted for free (and they cost about £130 + for 1 ticket). And some one asked for a NINTENDO dS hehe. :rotfl:
