Freecycle versus Craigslist?

Question

Which do you prefer and why?

I used to really enjoy freecycle until I found Craigslist. Now I give all of my stuff away using CL. Freecycle has far too many owners/ moderators making up their own rules. It should not be hard to give away my junk. Less rules, less people telling me what me to do.

I am wondering how many people have stopped using freecycle?

Answer 1

Having tried Craig's List, I've gone back to Freecycle.  Craig's List generated TONS of scams!  I simply have no desire to deal with scammers/theives/stOOpid people!  Give me Freecycle anyday!

Answer 2

I'm familiar with Craig's List but I had too many no-shows. I prefer Freecycle Groups.  With many people participating, I find that rules/guidelines are necessary to keep people "honest" and "reliable".  Also, by signing in to the Freecycle groups, I can check to see if the person wanting my stuff ever offers items or is just a taker.
