I have been using Freecycle for about 2 months. I ask for free scrap metal or electronics and repost once a week. The moderator has never bothered me. I have gotten a few goodies off it. (A couple of computers, misc electronics, car parts, etc.) Its usually smaller stuff but you have a much better shot at getting it vs CL because there arent as many scrappers looking on Freecycle...yet. I have given a few things away on it as well. Things that are of value, but not really worth selling. (Maybe thats why the moderator leaves me alone.) I would recommend giving it a try!
