people who offer items do you have to pay them or are they giving them away?

**PixiePetal** · 02-04-2010, 09:36 AM

It's all FREE!!

I have had a few things from mine and given away buggies which were not all that and getting in the way

I need help too, I read on here that you can get lots of free items on freecycle so I registered but can't see anything on there!

You can adjust the settings so you don't get hundreds of emails.

I am on my local 3 - I got my guinea pig hutch and run off it.

I have also had a kids chair, various toys and some kids garden chairs.

So far I havent offered anything as I tend to put them on Eaby with a 99p start and see what happens!!

But it is good.

**Toothfairy** · 02-04-2010, 07:06 PM

I didn't know you could adjust the email setting, I my have to re-join.

**Mookins** · 02-04-2010, 08:02 PM

wohoo just got offered another rabbit hutch on freecycle...may now get a guinea pig too

**Mollymop** · 02-04-2010, 08:10 PM

Sounds good, I have been trying to join my local freecycles for years but they never except me (ignore my application) for some weird reason

I like the freebees you can get from *****

There are 3 e-mail settings - one sends e-mails through everytime something is added- one sends just a digest once a day and one is no-emails. if you cannot see how to do it ask the moderator to do it for you.
