Diamond Freeads is a weekly newspaper that allows you to sell virtually anything free of charge. This is published all over England in regional editions. The majority of adverts in our Thames Valley edition are within a 30 mile radius, when you find what you're after it should be reasonably local. For buyers the paper is very well laid out, making it easy to find the item. There are a series of main categories such as transport,household, family,services etc. Within each of the main headings a subsection allows for quick reference. The adverts in each are set out alphabetically. There's also a complete listing of headings on the back page. ...  Read the complete review

Although the paper costs £1.10 for the reader, it is free to advertise your unwanted items. There are charges for trade adverts and puppies (If I remember ...  Read the complete review

Environmentally sound, Freeads does much the same as freecycle (the webbased site that allows people to recycle) but rather than giving and collecting things for free, you can sell or buy objects that have more value. The web based version of Freeads makes everything instant, but there is a definite old-style joy in wading through a traditional paper - particularly one such as Freeads where you can find anything from a secondhand sofa for £20 to a 5 bedroom house for £400,000. Slightly less bargainous on the housing pages, perhaps?! The paper also features jobs, particularly of the casual variety as well as pets and collectibles. The car section often features far more ...  Read the complete review
