Can't E-bay, won't rubbish.

Ever wondered what to do with the stuff that won't sell on ebay but is not ready to be chucked out?

Freecycle may be just what you have been looking for.

Find a group that covers your local area, or start one that does, and post anything that you want to get rid of. The individual groups are part of the Yahoo Groups network (if that matters to you) but it does mean that there is minimal maintainence and the focus is then on actually offering items. Plus, of course, it doesn't cost anything to join, though you will need to have, or set up, a Yahoo ID.
Each group also has it's own Freecycle Cafe group that allows the chance to offer services, vouchers, and other non-item giving things that are in a similar vein.

They explain it very well so it makes much more sense to mosey on over and read up for yourself. It's amazing what gets offered on there and sometimes people want stuff almost as soon as you've posted it

There is also the Cheapcycle option but it seems very lonely over there :)
