I am a member of 2 freecycle groups. I have found numerous items including just recently enough lovely tile to finish a shower and many books for my family to read and to share with others. I have also been able to pass on numerous items that I'd rather not see end up in landfalls, such as packing peanuts, and about 200 magazines. For the most part, people are friendly and honest, yet there will occasioanlly be someone who is nasty and rude. I just ignore those.... The concept is a wonderful alternative to throwing things away, or if you're not the yard sale type but want to shift some stuff out to make more room and do something nice for someone else at the same time, try finding a freecycle group in your area.
