That’s a useful link. I haven’t heard of Next Door before. I have used Trash Nothing, Freegle and Freecycle to dispose of things and vice Versa.
Did you strike a good pose like a Greek god?
When we advertised ours for a twin axle, it was sold within hours and they drove nearly 70 miles to collect.
I signed up to Nextdoor, as it suggested it was going to be local and about local issues, but I did not realise "local" was so big! Then as the numbers of members grew, we began to see idiots who seemed intent on upsetting as many people as they could just for the sake of it, and the far too numerous pointless notifications, virtually no useful "local" content. The only reason I kept the app was one (comparatively) local who posted some beautiful photographs of local wild life. Even he was recieving abusive comments, and when he gave up I also removed the app.
Come to think of it we received an invitation for something like that when we moved into this house in April 2019, but reading the blurb it did not do anything for me. Mind you I even cancelled FB, and rarely go on Twitter except too "sound off" to a misperforming company, and LinkedIn to track down people!!
Hi Clive you are not the only one never heard of it but i have now signed up myself somewhere else i can sell some bits from Caravanning
When I was selling the tyres on FB marketplace I got the usual a courier will collect and pay you. A quick check on the courier company showed it was a scam.
Thanks for the tip. She has been selling stuff locally for me for quite a while with no problems, but scammers are continually changing tactics.
You may be correct about limiting the area, and there have been some positives with good outcomes, but even within my more local posts, there is so much inane chatter that has no interest to me. It's was more of an annoyance to find my inbox full of items of no value, it was wasting time having to manage it.
