Freecycle - Unwanted goods for the price of pickup

[Prepaday]

I used to be a member of my local free cycle...Offered 8 shelves. I sent my fella 5 miles each way for these shelves..He came back with 6 peices of warped wooden large slats. offered loads of kids toys, sent my fella 3 miles each way, he came back with an Asda plastic bag full of broken dolls with hair cuts and Macdonald toys, we did however get a half decent tumble dryer, In my opinion, sometimes the cost of fuel outweighs the shite you can get from free cycle. Plus when I put stuff on, there was always the same scroats begging for the items I put on, I had 10 items on one day, 6 the next, 3 the next and the same folk asking for all the items. some say they get the items and flog them on Ebay, Just be weary on freecycle, some folk can't be bothered taking their stuff to a skip and offer it on there!
