Whats the best/most useful thing you have got off Freecycle?

Just got a decent set of stainless steel saucepans.

We've given away a sofa and rabbit hutch/run combo, also advertising a sideboard at the moment

The best item that I received was a breadmaker. An old post but no one else seemed to have been interested as the paddles were missing: easy to replace and it works fine.

When I was pregnant with Jenson (2 today!) I got lots of baby things. Very low income then, and it helped alot. Given all sorts, moses basket, bedding, nappies, clothes upto about 18 months, towels, buggy with car seatS, bouncey chair, bibs, bottles, stair gate.

Best thing I rehomed- a working playstation1 with games and extra controllers, a sony widescreen tv with remote, all to 2 very pleased young girls! Given away lots of random stuff, bikes, clothes, saucepans, gardening stuff, animal houses, toys, and washable nappies.

Best received - Miele CatnDog vacuum cleaner which the donor said didn't work any more. I took it to the local Miele dealer who serviced it and unblocked the hose, total cost £8 and it works perfectly .

Best donated - a bread maker (bought at a car boot for £4 two years ago) when I was bought a new one. The taker sent me an email saying how much they love it, so pleased it's gone somewhere it's being put to good use .

Lots donated and received over the past 4 years, I try to keep it even or offer more than I ask for. I love freecycle :j

Trainers, clothes, dog beds, lovely stone birdbath, bicycle, more stuff but can't remember now

I give away tons of stuff as I'm lazy about ebay, too much effort for me to photograph stuff, work out the p&p and drive to post office.

Often get quite a few emails when I advertise things on there so I tend to pick out the ones that say please and don't just inform me they'll come round tonight before I've even offered it to them, some people are so blunt.

Sometimes I find the odd person keeps on replying to whatever I offer so I suspect they are probably planning to sell it on so don't reply to them, not that I particularly mind if someone is selling stuff on but just be honest. I gave away a few boxes of carboot type stuff and the guys who came and got it were well impressed as they were doing a car boot the next day but didn't have that much stuff to sell so good luck to them.
