Hi, We use Freecycle all the time I've given away all kinds of stuff from frothy makers to televisions and kitchen utencils and even a washing machine. I don't really ask for things (very rarely) however, I would rather somebody got the use of the items, especially those that really need them, rather then putting them in the dump. I'm a bit wary of traders though because some of them go on Freecyle to get things free to sell on and I don't think that is what it's all about.
I think it's a great idea!
