You can offload all sorts of rubbish too, if it happens to be what someone else needs.
The Freecycle 'wanted' ads usually strike me as a bit pathetic, though. Haven't these people heard of car boot sales?

If I 'want' something expensive (as opposed to actually needing it) I wait a while for some well-off/impulsive idiot to buy it first, get bored with it and flog it off at the booty.

My £2 Sumo suit came into my life that way. It was Fate.

I've got rid of a lot of shit via freecycle
got a couple of nice pieces too.

it's mostly wanted adverts these days though, which pisses me off. they shouldn't be allowed.

I saw
someone asking for a Playstation 3 and an XBOX 360 once.

Now that just = stupidity
