Freecycle type sub-section

[1gear1brake]

I was just about to offer a digital camera on my local Freecycle site when I had an idea. How about a freecycle-esque sub-section in the For Sale/Wanted area for bike or non-bike stuff which we don't want any money for but would happily give away for a small donation to the site?

I have sent out a couple of things in this way to members and the way I see it, everyone is a winner. I free up space in my garage, someone gets the bit that they've been looking for, and the site, which I use almost daily, gets a little helping hand too.

(If anyone can use a Canon Sureshot A40 2mp camera - perfect working order, takes 4 x AA batteries, 256meg CF card incl. - it's yours for a fiver donation.) :thumb:

You can use the for sale and wanted section for this, when I wanted to get rid of my old seat for the transalp I posted in there with a free to a good home but you must make a donation to the site.

Pigugly anted it, I got garage space, Mrs Pigugly got a lowered seat and the site got a donation :thumbup:

Could be an idea to put a subsection in the for sale and wanted for it will make sure the moderators have a chat about it.

I think you'll need to offer an incentive for that one.


Have a look in the minis camping thread as well honey

You have this the wrong way round. You make a donation and if it is high enough, we'll take her off your hands. :D

Great Idea, I'm sure we all have gear (wether bike related or not) that we want rid of but that may be of use to someone.
