heard about it for the first time today. any use it? like it?
-
I used to use it maybe 3 years ago. It's a great way to quickly get rid of things and give it a new home. I also got a bag of clothes off of freecycle. Most stuff in there was crap but found a few treasures. I haven't been on the site in a while though!
-
My mom has used it a couple of times to get rid of things.
Funny story: she got rid of an old treadmill to someone who wanted to use it to walk his goats.
-
@mrscheesefries: haha that IS hilarious.
-
I've heard of it but I've never actually used it.
-
I heard of them a few years ago. I subscribed but you get a TON of emails. You really have to have a lot of free time to go through those emails. It's a great idea, though.
-
I’ve been signed up with them for a while and used it a few times to quickly get rid of things I didn’t want/need anymore, but I haven’t had any luck getting anything on it (other people had emailed for items before I did, rats!!). I have had luck getting some great deals on baby items on my local craigslist recently.
@bluestriped bee: You can select to only get 1 email a day – I think it’s called the “digest”. I just get one email a day from them, usually in the morning. But by the time you get the one email, a lot of stuff is already taken, so that’s a trade off.

I've used to to give away a lot of inherited baby stuff that I did not need as well as get rid of random household things that just took up room. I'd say its a little more reliable than craigslist when it comes to people showing up at the arrangement time/place. (I've had one person flake on me but many more on craigslist who flake)
-
I've gotten rid of quite a bit on there!
-
omg. i'm getting a ton of emails. may not be worth it!
-
@tequiero21: I set up a separate email for it..I use "lastnamespam@gmail.com" for things that I don't feel like getting constant emails from.
-
@sorrycharlie: hmmm that's a very good idea. i do have an email that i "sign up" things with. but i do check it regularly, so i should create a 3rd one haha. one is my regular legit mail. 2nd is my spam mail. 3rd is my spam spam mail. lol.
-
I've used it several times to get rid of stuff. It's a good way to get things out of your house.
-
@tequiero21: You can change your email preference to "daily digest" (or something like that). You'll only get 1 email a day.
-
We've used it a couple of times - it's been great to get rid of things that I might otherwise throw out.
-
i've unsubscribed. unfortunately, it's more of a pain than anything. if i need to get rid of anything, i'll just donate it.
-
I used to use it, but like others have said, it's kind of hit or miss. I found some treasures on there, but you've really got to dig or just be lucky. it's also a nice way to get rid of stuff, but I'd rather just donate, honestly, & get the tax write off.
-
I have used it...I set up the emails for daily digest so I don't get overwhelmed with them. I've gotten some maternity pants on there!
