The "social network site" as described below is actually called "freecycle" each area that runs a site, for instance, my local site is called "Scarborough-Freecycle". Members 'offer' almost anything from garden sheds to a set of egg cups with everything else in between. You can post for 'wanted' stuff also, anything, exercise machines to Bing Crosby LP's, it's unbelievable what people ask for and get. After offering an item you have to decide who to give it to and make arrangements for the taker to collect the item. This is the "big" problem, I joined to give a load of stuff away but I was warned off. Do you want any Tom Dick or Harry coming on your property, seeing how you live and what you have. I live in a very remote place so I couldn't risk dodgey characters wandering around my place visiting me. I suppose you could deliver but then it would be easier and cheaper to chuck the stuff away.
