Charity shop or Freecycle?

We have had a bit of a clear out (We only bought a new chair but one thing seems to lead to another confused)

We have a box under the stairs where we accumulate stuff to go to the charity shop (either a local one or Barnardos - easy parking blush) and it's almost full but I've been wondering whether Freecycle would be better.

Anyone have any views? Maybe it depends on the items?

I once asked if a friend could use a newish child's bed. She was really pleased. Then I saw it for sale. angry

I've been messed about many times on Freegle, people not turning up etc. So it's charity shops or our council recycling centre where an organisation for the homeless sell larger usable items. Another possibility is ebay, offer at a low price and donate the proceeds to your chosen charity. Works best for collect only items or you have to pay postage.
