Alternative places to sell or give away stuff

[malumbu]

With the possibility of losing this forum are there other useful places to dispose of unwanted stuff? I've used freecycle in the past, and from time to time buy and sell on ebay, or get rid of stuff through car boot sales, St Christophers Hospice shops and the like. But the market place here has been very useful and got, or sent to a good home an eclectic mix of household things. My favourite free acquisitions were tadpoles, and top soil.

Ideally hope someone takes it over and keeps much of it going. But are there other local forums out there worth looking at. SE23 and Sydenham don't appear to have the same footfall, for all their uses.

Also I think Facebook has local market places.

Whatever there is out there, unfortunately it will never have the feel of this forum!

I will be very sad to see it go!

Testimony is that many I have traded with are outside of East Dulwich, showing its wide appeal. Occasional down side is that some are just looking to resell at profit but I've sussed that out! I'd rather give free to a good home than someone make a quick buck

Wont touch Gumtree with a barge poll as it is where stolen goods are often sold, including a bike of mine. Much more faith in ebay, even if it owns Gumtree, as there is a vetting process.

Not sure of Facebook, but family has used it to sell unwanted clothing.

Nextdoor East Dulwich - both free & for sale items. Haven't tried it though as have always preferred the EDF community.
