Advantages: everything is free and an easy way to get rid of unwanted things

Disadvantages: can be hard to actually win anything

Ahhh i love this site ever since my mum found it and let me on in her little secret.

This is an excellent site if you want to get rid of unwanted items or to pick up goodies for free. There is such an array of items which get posted, anything from furniture, baby stuff and gardening to clothes, food and toiletries. All you have to do is join a network (the town in which you live) and either list items to get rid of or basically bid on something you want. Normally if you bid on something you want people normally give it to the first person who emails them, but occasionally people will wait an amount of time to see what replys they get.

It can be pretty difficult to actually get anything as you have to get in there quick as things seem to get snapped up within minutes sometimes. I have only managed to get a pair of wellies and a couple of blow up chairs which were ideal for my festivals, but as i don't seem to get in quick enough i haven't managed to get anything else yet. But this is a very easy way to shift things you would normally struggle to get rid of.

Summary: an excellent little secret
