Very true, Gwyn. I used to Freecycle stuff all the time but after the last time, some folks didn't show, and it was a pain in the butt trying to coordinate pick up times when I'm at work 9-10 hours a day. So, I generally give the good stuff to the women's shelter thrift store or the hospice thrift store. Our Freecycle group is enormous and it's way too out of control and has turned into the "at-home-mom's collectors club" who then go and sell the stuff on Craigslist. Four ladies were "released" from the group after that was found out. But giving to the thrift stores donation sites... that makes me warm and fuzzy, too.
