Anyone use Preloved?

I've just come across a website called Preloved - anyone else used it before? Any success?
I am trying avenues other than ebay at the moment - and have already dipped my toe in the gumtree water, but thought that preloved looked quite nice too, but I've never heard of it..!

The next biggest is ebid for general goods but realistically unless you are selling books or other media there isn't really a real alternative.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

If you are selling clothes maybe Bigwadrobe.com could be useful0

have had a couple of sales thro preloved.
Also used ibootsale.com - but beware with this - if you have a problem they don't bother to ever answer your e-mails.
You also have: viva street (sold a printer on here - tho their message system could be tempermental) and 'x'bargins e.g. mine is sheffieldbargins.co.uk,loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:0 -
Used preloved, used to be called Blue carrots. Basically just a classifieds. Other alternatives similar are
Vivastreet
Ad-Mart
ukclassifieds
Friday-Auction
Loot
I've recently starting using them all. I can't really speak for effectiveness as I've just started. I have used them in the past but long time ago. First reply I had was a scammer, just be careful.0 -
Gumtree is okay, and it's free , you can localise your buying and selling, which is great on items you would otherwise advertise as local pick-up only"Do not let what you can't do interfere with what you can do."0
