I use freecycle here as well ... Helped me downsize a lot of my stuff b4 I moved. I've also managed to save 5 computers from being dumped and found them new homes for ppl who dont have the extra cash to go and buy one.
Also been lucky enough to get some stuff I've needed. Its a great way to stretch the dollar although occasionally there is the odd person that gets thru who gets stuff to resell on to others :(
