    yes. I've even collected the odd thing or two myself, including a shelf - which now sits in the larder holding many tins of grub.

        Mrs RC & I used it as both donors and collectors.

        I got fed up in the end with people saying they would collect stuff and then not turn up, and the Sunday car-boot-sale scroungers who say they will take something, come round and then refuse to take it unless it is in perfect nick.

        It also went all weird in the USA whereby the founders tried to over micro-manage it - there were noises about the UK going independent. No idea what came of that.

          We gave away a road-legal car on Freecycle.

            Yes - I have given stuff away. But I fell out with the daft bint who runs our local one because I was getting swamped with e-mails for an item that had gone - I tried to post that it was "gone subject to collection" and she sent me a shirty mail back saying I could only post it as gone when it had actually been collected. I prefer to keep people informed, but I'm not sending 100s of mails a day.

            Our local one is now Freegle - because they didn't like the way freecycle was going.
