I need to clear out the garage/workshop & I have a fair amount of
surplus tools, spanners, pliers, tool bags etc. Nothing worth
ebaying or freecycle ing, but I don't want to just bin it all.
ISTR there is a charity which collects stuff like this & ships it to
third world countries so it can be reused?
You don't think it's good enough to Freecycle, so you want to dump it
on the third world? Brilliant!
No, I can't be arsed to freecycle it.

[That doesn't make sense.

You've already expended more effort on usenet than it would take to
list it on Freecycle.]

There speaks a man who hasn't used freecycle (or has way more patience than
many folk have).


I'm not particularly patient but I have used Freecycle quite a bit
over the past year. I've had no hassle at all. It amused me on a
couple of occasions when people we knew, but didn't recognise from e-
mail addresses, turned up for the stuff.

I've had good experience of Sheffield Freecycle - pleasant appreciative
people.
