My New Toy!

i love freecycle and since i live in a fairly large city, there are lots of stuff to choose from! we got a free air conditioner that way. but the only thing with free cycle is that you have to be checking your email constantly to see whats available before anyone else gets to it.

Hey, you go, Ldy! What a great deal you got here. Give me some motivation to do my treadmill more often, please!

I am a member of freecycle (or used to be, does membership expire?) but I never got back to it to see what's actually available. I'm not in a large area so I guess I was thinking that there wouldn't be much of anything on the local list.

In any case, good for you, and best of luck with it!

We*do* have some really cool stuff we want to get rid of so maybe I'll sign in to freecycle and not mess with newspaper ads to sell the stuff.

Wow, that was a great find. Good luck with keeping up the exercising!

Since we are moving home on Wednesday 2 July, we have been having a major clean out and a lot has gone on freecycle lately.

The biggest and best was the 2 baby buggies that I have had taking up space since November (last time they were used). One boy one and one girl one which my twins used only a few times. I bought them so we could take them on holiday with us - easier than a double buggy! I also had connectors which turned them into a double buggy if you needed that.
The lady they went to was very happy with her find and couldn't find enough words of thanks for us.

I love Freecycle as well, Ldyjarhead. Recently, I saw someone post a bunch of items on our local freecycle and one was child's Marital Arts sparring gear. I grabbed that up next day and my daughter is thrilled with them. The helmet and gloves look like they never been used but the footpads are well-worn. Don't matter being she doesn't spar often enough to warrant new right now. There were others things I wanted but someone else got to them before I could. So far, I've given away a set of patio door verticle blinds in great shape and hopefully a 2man tent as well. I've offered several times the various rocks/broken bricks we have in excess but no one wants them it seems.

There is not a freecycle close to where I am living now, but a few years ago I got a big 70 pound Everlast punching bag for my son from someone of Freecycle for my son. It was the main thing that he wanted for Christmas that year and I got it for FREE!

i would rather a regular bicycle. i like regular mountain bikes.i like to put baskets on them, front and back.i then use it for shopping. and of course, to go fishing.

That's a great find! I'll check it out right now. Hope it's as god as it sounds!

I'm glad you got something useful, but I have nothing nice to say about freecycle or the administrators that run it, I see freecycle as nothing more than a gimmick to make someone else rich, with a bunch of power hungry administrators that they think are god's gift to the freecycle world......and the world in general.

I'd rather throw the stuff in a dump than use freecycle....I'd rather put something out on the curb with free sign than use freecycle

Sorry I'm no fan, but glad you got something useful.

Mooch

I have been hearing about Freecycle for a couple
years now. Not sure why I haven't signed up yet.
It sounds wonderful. I have several computer monitors
that I don't need anymore and would love to get some
stuff too. Maybe something for the house.

Wow that is really neat. I bought myself a Elliptical trainer and I found it so much more convenient to use than it was to take the time to drive to town and use the one at the gym there and i use it more because i have it.

I'm a member of freecycle around here and i gave away some coffee tables recently. But I've actually never gotten anything from anyone in the group. I always feel theres someone else who just might actually need it when i only want it.
